Thank you all, the needed length of my recovery process was vastly shortened because of all of your support and warmth provided to me. By the time I started coming around on here some time has already passed post the failure. Nonetheless, I hope other members could see this transformation and understand that healing isn't far off for them too.
Hey, these are some great wishes I got here. You bet I will update my vacation. Personal growth, I look forward to it.
Secondhand!
It's so good to hear that things are starting to lift for you. I am so happy for you that the lowest lows are in your rear-view mirror.
This all sounds so epic! Are you going by yourself?

Indeed, Speck. Though the journey was long and full of hardships, I must say I am glad to overcome them and even experience them to make myself a better person. Thank you for the wishes.
Yes, I will be going by myself. At first I thought of the idea of bringing a friend, yet that idea was quickly dismissed as I find myself preferring to make this trip a fulfilling and "focus on me" one.
You contributed greatly to my healing and answered many of my unresolved questions, Speck, I couldn't tell you how much I appreciate you enough. You are wonderful.
How is life treating you at the moment?
I am looking forward to a week off in May. I'm planning to visit a region in my home country that I haven't visited before—something fresh and new!

That sounds quite exciting! May isn't far off and I wish you the best. Hopefully you enjoy your visit and get to try things you haven't experienced before.
America is actually not my home country either. I had been longing to go visit my home country since 6 years ago, yet the plane tickets allowed otherwise. Soon I should be able to though, I am pulling myself up the dirt and put my mind to what I really want to do. Please do let me know how your trip goes after you come back from it. Excited for you, heartandwhole.
Secondhand, it's such a joy to hear that you are doing so much better! Thanks for letting us know. Good news shared is always welcome. It can help others to know that better days are ahead. Well done for planning something that sounds amazing and giving yourself that to look forward to. Savour every moment and go easy on yourself at times when it's less easy. We all have our moments, and as you've found, they lessen with time and some courage on our part to work through them. Keep doing what works

Love and light x
Thank you. I wouldn't be here without any one of you. I will be working on the not-so-good parts and will be trying to go easy on myself on those days as you suggested. This vacation is actually planned because of this! I wanted to give myself a chance to start again, and I will see what I can find this time.
Hey there,
Secondhand Ploy! I echo the others in that I’m glad to see that you’re doing better. What a ride. Yeah? I noticed your comment about feeling wiser, not necessarily better. This is a big step. We see more as we become wiser. Sometimes they’re things that are unattractive to us. The key is recognizing them. From there, we have something to work with.
Glad to hear back from you. Also, fill us in on the vacation. Totally envious.

JNChell, my pal, glad to hear from you again. You motivated and supported me throughout my doubt for myself, wouldn't be at this stage without your help and company. Thank you for noticing, I certainly won't trip on the same step again as I learn. Had unresolved traumatizing issues prior, and I believe this relationship that I had opened up the wounds and allowed me to tend to them. What a bizarre phenomenon. No pain, no gain, right? Haha. Anyways, I will be back after the vacation. Hope to hear from you again, pal.
