I so appreciate your forthrightness. I don't think I understood myself at twenty-eight to even ask these questions. (Not that I'm such an alter kocker...I'm only now forty-one.)

I recently remarked to a friend how I have a much better sense of self and my own needs now than I had in my 20s and 30s. And I wonder if I would have made different decisions if my younger self had possessed that clarity.

It's the asking of the questions that ultimately helps us grow. And find others who are seeking similar answers.

I loved this post and how you intertwined the many aspects of you.
