I'm glad you like reading about my adventures. I post them for myself as well as anyone else who might be able to relate. I've found that it's almost taboo to open up like that in our society, especially in person and outside of the therapist's office. It makes one feel very vulnerable. But what we are missing in America is what it feels like to be open and human like that. We have almost reduced ourselves to automatons in this country. Our finer sensibilities have been numbed and stupefied.
