Noone wants to get hurt - but I've realised it doesn't happen nearly as much as I thought it did, and doesn't hurt nearly as much now when it does...
Just getting out there and living life again has been a great liberation for me - I'm sure it will be for you too, mate
It's taken me nearly 4 years to get to this point but I've heard some great quotes in my journey of 'letting go' Neo:
For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe.
If you treat every situation as a life and death matter, you'll die a lot of times.
and a great Toni Morrison one:
Wanna fly, you got to give up the **** that weights you down.
I think you're doing great, mate
