I have a bad habit about leaving places and never keeping in contact with anyone. Most of all, I had a teacher that helped me when I left home and my dad went to prison when I was 17. I left at 18, joined the army and never maintained any contact. She was a reminder of a horrible time in my life. She would email me every year on my birthday and every year I deleted it without a reply. Sometimes I read it, other times I didn't even do that. I tried so hard to bury the past. Since I left home I have lived in 13 different places. I leave and I never look back.
This evening I emailed her and thanked her for all she did for me. She put a roof over my head when I had no family. I apologized for not being more appreciative and not keeping contact with her. I hope she can come to understand. And a weird thing happened....I cried. Maybe I can feel after all. Therapy is making me soft : )
Hmm... is therapy making you soft, or is it giving you back your missing feelings? ;)
Good work!
Soft? Or relaxed?
Sounds like things are looking up ;)
