Thank you for your encouraging words.  Although I chose not to respond, I did read them, and I do appreciate them.  Thank you for really going out of your way to give them to me.

No, I am not happy with who I’ve become recently—and I don’t exactly feel like going into the specifics, beyond that my actions over the past while have brought me to realize flaws and faults in myself I had been fooling myself over.  But I’ve realized them now, and is that not the first step to change?

Yeah, and I’m ready to be different.  I don’t know exactly how yet, but I’m gonna change myself.  And I’m gonna be someone I can like.

I’ll probably open my ask back up tomorrow.  When no one remembers this. :3c
