i agree. tough experiences suck but i always grow so much from them. it also seems as though i end up with someone in my life that i help go through similar tough times. i'm happy to be able to share any wisdom born of pain.
have a great weekend. i'm so glad you got me hooked so early on SSF. it's nice to have a balance between the serious and playful.
just read your profile. i hope you will find that things can be good again. from personal experience, i know life can do a 180. your profile just increases your awesomeness!!!
i especially liked "I want to be for others what no one ever was to me through those hard years, because the lack of support was the only thing that was ever truly painful to me." i complete agree and try to do the same.
