I hope you don't really feel you need to cut yourself off from family in order to be happy though. I am very glad to see that you are starting to make some sense at last. It has been driving me crazy that you seem to be in this constant state of comparing yourself to everyone else, and it's not fair to yourself, and it's really not fair to me either which is why I've been so upset about it. We are not the same person!! What I've been trying to tell you all along is that you need to find something you can do that will be right for YOU. I don't know what that is, but hopefully you will manage to figure it out yourself. I don't wish for you to be like me, or like Matt; I just wish for you to be happy and content with whatever you choose your life to be. I wouldn't say I'm passionate about what I do for a living, but I am content at least, and for me that is enough. That's not the same for everyone, so you need to focus on finding what is right for you. PS I sent your flash back up with Mom; I think that was the only thing you'd asked about? Finally!!!

You are of value just for you, for the gifts you uniquely possess, for the person you are, not compared to anyone else. Seek who you are, knowing that you are loved for you; find your context, find your self. You are expected to be you, not someone else. I still hope you come up for Thanksgiving. YES!!!
