[at-l] Here Goes.

Kelly,

Reference your posts and the posts of your e-friends, under this and other 
threads.

Your first post seemed to me a whine about Florida summer weather; I stopped 
opening them.  My loss.  Somewhere between there and here you’ve made 
yourself vulnerable, revealing a struggle you’re experiencing with your 
life.

I would have posted sooner, but I didn’t know.  I wrote you a lengthy essay 
about my life, experiences, and philosophies (why and how I changed them), 
providing you the knowledge you’re not completely alone “out there,” but 
then my life and experiences are not yours.  (My effort just trivialized 
what you are going through, anyway, so I deleted it.)

The recent posts are great.  The problem we, your e-friends, have is, your 
life is in fact your very own.  You have to find your own way.  Regardless 
what decisions you make, some of us would have decided differently.  The 
good news is, you’re living an examined life.  More bad news; the examined 
life is occasionally painful.  I’m convinced most people don’t live such 
lives; at some level, they never really live.  They never experience your 
pain.  They also never know your joy.

All the best.  If you ever wish to chat, don’t hesitate, not for a moment.

Steve
