    Tonight's my first night living on my own since... A long time.
    Moving forward feels good but scary at the same time. Something I take as a sign: a new friend I made at my support group- turns out she lives less than a block from me!

    Life is crazy stuff.

    All of our lives are lived on a river. Follow the current and you will get to where you are supposed to go!

    Congratulations on a new friend and new chapter in your life! I've only just moved into own room, but it's a weird feeling. I sleep through the night now. :grin:

    Life is crazy, but exciting, unpredictable and our own to make of it what we like. Here's to a promising tomorrow :slight_smile:. Enjoy the journey!

    Wow, that's huge. Good for you! This is an important step forward and though it's scary now, like looking for me says, it does get easier. This is a new chapter for you, and your life is yours to build as you see fit. The sky's the limit!

    Sending you many, many hugs...

    (*hug*)

    My body has reacted. Major excema on my right hand, and now a fever.
    I feel stunned, like it's not real. I kind of want to hide from the world for a while.
    No regrets though.

    Thanks for asking :slight_smile:

    This is a big deal. Understandable that you would want to hide a little. A couple date nights with Netflix is probably in order. Best of luck on this new chapter.
