I have a very similar story at age 35 when I looked at my life and thought I had it so easy up to there. I realized I needed a purpose and meaning but I also was aware that I didn’t have the wisdom of hardship. And then the universe began to provide 😊😳🤩! But it took me until age 63 to really start putting it all together and having the courage to share my story. Thanks so much John!!
Found you a few days ago when you posted something about distance creating illusion of missing someone (I’m paraphrasing) and that same day I had met up with an ex I had left four years ago. I was thinking “oh my, wouldn’t it be nice to get back,” but I been knowing at the back of my mind the issues still the issue.
After reading your post, it reset me real good and I realized I wasn’t missing them at all. It was the distance that created the illusion.
Then today, I decided to resume sharing my story of surviving a religious cult and how sharing about it 13 years ago changed how I show up online. I decided “heck, I’d share out loud all this work I have done over the last decade to heal.” But even as I shared, I was asking myself who cares then I see your live tonight and again, I get that same inspiration that it does matter
Those two experiences show why our stories and shares are sooooo important
Currently navigating living with at home with extremely difficult family situation , it is the same old same old. Been less than a year but had been living with a partner for a long time before that. I am really dreaming for my own space again 🙏 Additionally I have chronic pain but live a pretty normal existence on the outside, in spite of that. I totally want more support for CP.
its been a long year. I ended a 6 year relationship that wasn’t serving me. I wish it was just as easy to leave the other areas (above) that don’t serve me and prioritize myself. Thanks for your share, and sorry to hear about your big loss with your place.

Thank you for sharing so generously.
