This is a concise way of saying what I was saying. If you know why you're up to soing it. You'll be happy you did it when it's finished.

Hidden message? You or me?

Either way I'm sorry you are feeling trapped right now.

The first step on the road means that you are already walking down it. And that is the hardest one to take.

Humbly accept these thoughts and a friend and not in a telling way. The net makes it harder to have a proper exchange of listening vs talking. So look at this as my thinking about it and if you want to talk more specifically, please PM me as I care an aweful lot and know you have the tools you need to wade through this.

Metta,
Sage
