Just a thought...
It isn’t selfish to seek your happiness. In fact, the most selfish act would be to deny oneself of that happiness. The void of pleasure is not one to stand alone, empty and dark. It is filled up, instead, by other emotions. Anger. Sadness. Resentment. What is the purpose of life, if not to rid us of those burdens, and fill our lives with happiness and love?

I have spent my life catering to others. As a 36 y.o. married lesbian, I am just now in September of 2018 starting to realize the sentiments behind the words you wrote in November of 2015. We all move at our own pace and have our own story. Thank you for sharing yours.

This is something that I have no previous knowledge about, so I really appreciate what you did here. I am happy that I was able to learn all about this. I am waiting for my chance to let you know some of the things that I know. I have a lot of data that are just waiting to get shared. I hope that we can make a relationship where the both of us can keep sharing and learning from each other.
