Good Morning, Alpine!
The three questions I wrote here are on my computer monitor at work.... A reminder for me to think before I speak.
I was encountering a similar situation with someone and hurtful words. So, I related immensely to what you were going through.
You are not alone in your feelings. We are doing so well. Lets keep doing well and keep reaching for the stars in our own lives.
We can do hard things, Alpine. Im really happy you are here.
