Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts about my post. I'd say its more resilience and acceptance than courage but seems like it's always been my kind of courage to just, take a leap of faith and resign myself to whatever consequences befall on me. I'm touched you think it may give some people hope. Although I doubt it, I'd really really love that. In a way it's what I'm trying to do by writing all this down, to create something new and good out of what weighs on my shoulders and my past.
It's great to meet you soulturtle, I hope we can hangout a bit more on Steemit :)
