@carasutra that was brave and powerful, to share your life story like that. I bet it's scary. I read a real person's story, I sense a real human. We are all experiencing highs and lows, and it's very easy to compartmentalize the hard and difficult truths and share only the happy and engaging parts. I'm not as brave as you, but I share a little bit at fastestslowguy.blogspot.com; mostly talking to myself. I've written something like you wrote, but it's a document only I can see. Maybe I'll share it with my kids someday. Thank you for being open and willing to share.
