Life, Perception, Perspectives, and Gratitude

[Gideon]

Ok, so... I've been running around all day getting my shit done and I've had this post on my mind ALL day long.

I think that I owe the readers of this board an apology. I feel like I really overshared in this post, to the point of feeling a bit awkward and uncomfortable about it. I'm really sorry about that, and confess (and apologize as well) that when I logged on here this evening, I was hoping that I could delete it. Of course, that time has long passed but.... yeah.

So I'm very sorry for the over share. I don't know what got into me, and I'm sorry.

That said, I am still curious of others take on the questions at the end of my OP and I hope that my oversharing doesn't make anyone even a fraction of as uncomfortable as it does me.

Babe, you don't have anything to apologize for.

Your life has been rough, and though I know the sharing makes you extremely uncomfortable...that you -can- and did share it takes alot of courage and alot of strength. It means that you've grown enough, healed enough to speak of these things, yeah?

I'm so very proud of you, babyboy, for all the obstacles you've had to overcome, for all the pain and suffering, for all that you've lived through and become stronger because of....because you're beautiful and you're mine...I'm proud of you, man.
