no one can love you if you do not love and trust yourself. you know your demons, so work at them. one step in front may be 3 paces back in another light; but only you can decide how far you've come. so read, listen, make note of the point and the quotes because they helped me understand that though I thought I was paving the way to a better life I was infact cementing it to hell with my toddler.
good luck everyone and note everyone takes something different out of most things. your perception would be much helpful to the next reader.
