Today, at a point where you are afraid to take action, fake courage.  Do whatever it is that scares you.  I want to be able to speak to people when they speak to me.

I have a long list of things I am anxious about.  Most of which are quite normal to be anxious about.  My question is: is anyone going to understand these?  No one has ever understood what I was saying to begin with.   1. when we move I will be the only one up here packing away. I know, it's my stuff.  I just want to say this.... I helped granmaw pack up her old house and move from her house to the apartment complex, Seville apartments.  which is where I moved originally to help my granmaw with her laundry and cleaning her house.   2.
