It's been too long!

Well...here I am years later. And I can confirm that: we can change the way we feel about ourselves. We can change our inner voices.
There have been endless ups and downs getting here and many more to come, I'm sure. But the strength I've built within myself....I don't think much can bring it down back to the pit where I was before.
Like I said, I know it won't be easy. But I accept this challenge and meet it head on, no longer as afraid.
