- Alliteration rocks.
- No one will love you more than you love yourself, and if you don't love yourself, you won't accept that anyone else does (even if they try).
- Trying to give yourself away isn't going to make someone love you; it's just going to diminish you.
- Friends will always have your back, no matter how batshit crazy you get, no matter how many times you lash out in pain.
- People who love you will see who you are, even when you don't. That goes for undervalued as well as overvalued egos.
- You have to be the person you want to be, not the person you think others want you to be. The people who will love you will find you. The people you're trying to impress will never value you.
Now I just have to figure out who I really am, who I want to be, and how the hell to get there. Because what I've been doing ain't been working, and I'm ready for a stronger second half.

As one who has been there, don't rush it. You'll drive yourself nuts and defeat whatever progress you've made. Melody Beattie's Codependent No More - or whatever the hell the title is -- helped me a lot. A little advice - you already are who you are meant to be. Quit analyzing it so much. Accept it and embrace it. From what I've read, you have a lot going for yourself.
"and how the hell to get there."
You're already there!
Sierra, you're the second person to tell me to "quit analyzing" and just let it happen. Go sit with wirecutter.
trip, thank you, *hug*
