    I get to be me at home Sunday.

    God damn. I am freezing but happy. I'm not visually me but I am me. No hiding to my best friend. We talked about EVERYTHING.

    Son of a bitch... Thank you all.

    I've told you two that my problem is that it went too well that it doesn't feel real to me and I'm scared.

    When you open yourself up like that and it goes well, after you've spent so much time and energy worrying about it, I think it is natural to both be happy that it went well, yet still feel spent, confused, and even a bit cheated that the anticipated crisis that you geared up for so much never came to pass. I have generally felt a weird sort of combination of euphoria and adriftness (is that even a word?) afterwards myself. I hope the fear fades quickly and you can just enjoy being able to share this with your best friend!

    Haha, I experienced this at work. I prepared for people to say stuff and be angry. Especially when I sat down and told my managers. But nope, zippo. Everyone's fine with it :slight_smile:

    That feels like it's not real to me. I keep telling myself this is a dream.

    Hey Kasey, from what I learned over the years. My general manager told me. "The best time to worry about something is when shit hits the fan. So I wouldn't worry until you cross that road." In short you should give "some people" the benefit of the doubt.
