Well, that's pretty much what I had to do and have been doing for the past couple of years. I decided I was tired of other people running my life so started doing things the way that I wanted to.
The saddest part is that I wasted most of my life before I finally did this, and can't change the past so I will have to learn to live with my mistakes.
Now I try to focus on the things I can do and want to do, like someday finally being able to meet you and thank you in person.
You have helped me tremendously and I wish that more people realized how truly great you are. Thank you so much for everything.
