As I read through your writings again and again I feel exactly the same pain and regrets. So many "if onlys", but they do not exist. Only what was and is exists. I am considerably older than you and know so well the anguish and pain. Also the knowledge that I am the man He meant me to be, for whatever reason He might have had. But there is the certanity that you are loved and you can love, even yourself. Especially yourself! That message comes through all that you express. YOU ARE BOTH UNDERSTOOD AND LOVED. My prayers go with you and for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14630771.post-85843154237720396522012-09-28T21:15:25.437-07:002012-09-28T21:15:25.437-07:00The Paradox is: the more you allow others to see y...The Paradox is: the more you allow others to see you, the more Self you will have. "Who am I?" is a life time process (if you are lucky). Start by less shell games.
