and the help of a professional! Although I make more progress on my own, cause I have done alot of reading and researching. Knowledge is power
Flower...a couple things I try and go by: don't take everything to heart, don't let other people control your emotions, don't always listen to "everything" that "everyone" has to say (including me, lol), don't blame yourself or others for anything as shit happens, learn that life is just one big puzzle that you just put together one day at a time, listen to your heart...but go with your gut, forgive...but don't forget, learn to trust (not everyone is the same as the one before)...
Christ I could go on and on, but I won't preach anymore. lololz
