Ivan Michael, Whenever I see your posts around this site I get an image of a sweet, kind caring person. Full of anger sometimes, full of overwhelming sensitivity too. I always think "what an interesting person!" I like to read your posts to see how you're doing. I see you're struggling, like all of us here, and I bet that makes you a deeper, more compassionate, much more interesting person. Sometimes the worst times in life turn out to be the greatest gifts; they are the times we learn the most, grow the most, become who we are the most. Don't worry so much about yourself. I think you're lovely and I look forward to reading more about your life, good and bad. :) ~~Autumn~~
