Thank you Ben and Dakota. I am really trying to please God, and I know that he wants me to love myself. I often wish I was dead, but God has saved my life a number of times. He must have something for me to do, and letting my silly self-hate get in the way would be ridiculous. I am just not sure how right now. I can't imagine ever feeling right, and part of me wants to feel awful. It says I deserve it. Well, I guess you've seen it plenty of times. I am still overwhelmed when I see people with similiar experiences. Beautiful people like you two and the other people here. Loving you somehow weakens that wall I have within myself. Thank you for that. Love, hopesalive |
