And fantastically wonderful. I have tears running down my face. . . . The bravest thing, in my opinion is what you said "if you are going to love me, you have to love the real me" (I might not have gotten the words exactly right - don't want to misquote you). I think that is the bravest thing imaginable. Its not hard to stand up or out to people we don't know, the hard thing is facing our families. Seems a little backwards - but they are the ones that have the most vested interest in our "images", and in my case the reason I started portraying an "image" in the first place. :) You are so brave.

And it struck me as so interesting to ponder the fact that people see people the way want to see them. And, as people, we work so hard to create a particular image that we want other people to "get". 3) Thank you and peace to you. 1) Major hurrah for your courage in sharing your experience.

Walking with who you really are. Risking everything to be true to self. Quite the impressive was to become excellent communicators :) I’m always impressed with the courage you and Pace have, not just to put deep truths out here on your blog, but the courage it has taken for you to get here.

And yeah, that sucks on both sides. *stands and applauds*
