What am I supposed to do when I know it's going to tear me up?

I'm just afraid I am too old, jaded, un-attractive and carrying toooooo much baggage to ever get it.

Get over this. You know in your heart of hearts that it is not true, you're using it as an excuse. You have great worth, and lots to give someone, who knows how to accept it.

Alos, if I ever do get it I know I'm going to lose some of the family and friends I have now.

Fact is, if they cut you off because of this, are they really the kind of people you want around you? The honest attempt at being the authentic you is the toughest, bravest, and most rewarding work you can do.

Friend, I'm just not as convinced. But I have spent many years in guilt and denial beating myself up and down as well as pushing my true feelings as far down as I could. It may take a lot of time to get over it.
I have a lot of learning to do as well as catcing up in a small amount of time.

Jesus — you are so wise, Moremojo. I've always enjoyed your posts ever since your first one on IMDB. I'm so looking forward to getting to meet you in Colorado!! :-*

All the feelings you have are normal, but one day...probably soon, you will realize that ultimately the gulit will accomplish nothing, other than allowing you to make the positive changes you need to, and that you already are making. I tink you're well on your way, but don't go so fast...everything in its time
