awwww! Your response touches me deeply.
" But then again, all that broken crap that I have carried has built me into a person that I never though I would be." This is such a beautiful and inspiring statement, and I try to remind myself of it daily.

I don't know your story - but it really strikes a sensitive cord when I read the part that touches on your fear of rejection. While I think both are different, I've struggled with the fear of abandonment my whole life and I'd do anything to take it away. But the truth is that these fears will always be there. We can't erase them - only change how we react to them. That was one tough pill to swallow for me. I feel for you💜
