offbeat, yes, I do believe this is a new part of the journey...
I feel a shift into something good, and away from something...some bad patterns...that has have me back.  Like what we talked about this morning, looking for the things in life that serve you, nourish your goals and spirit instead of depleting them.  Life is always a process, indeed.

Not giving up, I don't know how.  I have my days, but overall, not gonna do it.  I look out for me and those I love, my found family (like that best friend Jen I mentioned).  The hard times are part of life school.  Nice to see you here. :)

Cass...

I have found some serenity, yes.  It took some time, but I worked through the basics and found my center.  When we are hurt and people can find our weak spots it's easy to forget that we are strong and to believe in ourselves.  I know myself, and just because others want to tell me who I am doesn't make it true.  I am finally learning things about my past, my present, and people that are helping me to really understand things I've been trying to my whole life.  My computer was down, so I have been writing, just couldn't been here....but I missed it here, too. It's good to be back.

Temple,
 In spite of the hardships we face, we can't give up or give in.  Hang in there and take care of number 1, which is yourself.

It sounds as if you are calmer, more informed maybe. I'm glad you're still here and writing. I do miss you when you don't write for a while.

I think we may all battle parts of this, but I certainly hope not all of it....although I am still writing in vague terms.  We all do battle finding out what things mean and who people are, that much I know.  Nice to see you, too. :)  Hope all is well with you.

Like I said to Quirk, it's not about me giving up on me...it's about feeling like so many have in the past, and on some others in my family that has made me understand them better.  It's a new world when you find your similarities in your enemies instead of your differences.  I'm a hellcat, I don't give up. ;) Thank you.

Quirky
Thank you for the lovely compliment on my writing.  :)  I'm not giving up on me, what I meant is that I'm fighting for me.  Don't worry, no chance I'm giving up.

HolyGrail, I'm totally okay.
I'm getting to the meat of some things finally, it's hard, but very good.  The good soul work leads us to where we want to be. :)

Temple--
Your posts are always so eloquent, even tho the pain is prevalent and obvious. Please don't give up on you...ever.
