coolhandluke-I have spent a little time reading back and seeing some of your posts. It is a darn shame we did not meet while I lived in Missouri. You write wonderfully.

damn, i couldnt have put it better myself... looking for yourself is often so hard, cuz sometimes in the mire of what everyone thinks we are, or wants us to be, we lose sight of what we really are... we have to dig and dig through all the masks the J0 DUBS made us put up, our parents made us put up, society makes us put up... but once we do find ourselves, which is almost always very late in life, we will realize what true contentment is... but what a journey it is...

Its funny. I sleep so bad. After I read this and after I posted, I slept like a rock. It was like something was firing on the right cylinder and I felt just a little more whole. So thanks for all of the support. Thanks for the good sleep

Quite profound, my friend.
Call me a p***y, but when you guys write this sort of stuff, I get tears it's so familiar.

Breathtaking.
Better than resurrection of the dead -- insurrection of the stillborn.

Nice - thanks for reposting it this year...I didn't catch it the last time.
You've got a fantastic way to write down and put into words thoughts I can't even get to the surface.
It's good to see someone who's made progress....I hope to get there.
