I'm so sorry you are having a rough time Nu. Like Dee said this isn't the Nu we know. You are deep in AV territory here. The Nu I remember is very capable and really good at cutting through the crap in a humorous cool way.
Love that article your mom gave you
Or maybe we are afraid of what will happen if we open up.
We are afraid to leave a bad situation because we've forgotten what a good one even looks like for us.
We've gotten so used to a life surrounded by unhappiness that we've convinced ourselves it's normal. After all, everyone else's life looks life this too.
Somewhere along the way we stopped believing in our own strength and beauty.
We think we've lost it or maybe it was never really there.
And worst of all we've let someone else define who we are for us.
We've lost who we are so we'll believe whatever anyone else tells us, even if it makes us smaller ....angrier.
There are not enough voices telling us the truth. There are not enough voices to get through the mist that has gathered around our belief in ourselves.
Get back here woman!
I am sharing with you the latest song I seem to be stuck on
