Thank you moe. Your encouragement helps greatly. Especially today.

Dear Diary, Ok, so I’m going back to my home state for a visit tomorrow. I’m terribly nervous for some reason. I’ve printed out the boarding pass, packed up all my things, except for what I’m wearing tomorrow, and am generally pretty prepared. I just have this strange feeling that my luggage is goin...

But, I’ve been avoiding things too. I realize this now. I haven’t wanted to deal with anything. To bring anyt...

Thanks Manuel Moe. You are always so encouraging.
