Checking in, last year has been weird

.
After my life last ten years, I've learned not to count on individuals, governments, organizations, and definitely not religions. It's one year since my mediation with the Chicago Archdiocese and I'm just now figuring out what the heck they did to me. This chapter in my life could be defeating, but I have to make it produce something positive, so I can enjoy the next ten years. So this new realization that I can't count on anyone or anything is actually liberating. I don't have to turn to any of them, no outside thing will fix me. Meanwhile, I take this incredibly resourceful and tenacious person, me, everywhere I go. That's great.
