I'm glad you have made the effort to confluence with this community, despite your history and hypothesised shortcomings. Your openness would point closer to 180 in regard such suggested shortcomings, to a more insightful future. I feel much resonance with my own history and current state with what I draw from your introduction. I myself, have ummed and uhhed about my own sense of self worth to the point that I have found it difficult (empirically impossible, on the boards thus far) to venture forth and even voice a mediocre hello to this sanctuary of light. I'm incredibly sorry for your parent's emotional indifference - as an old war buddy might only perhaps, comprehend the traumas of the war. It was not for me so much the absolute scorn, as portrayed indifference, which I experienced - if that rides with you at all. I may have been in a separate division, but we share in the same war of old. Stay the course(here at FDR), as I think that you have a lot to offer. I enjoyed your introduction very much, unto the point that you appologise to Stef. He's not big into that unless you've willfully wronged him. He's into empiricism(of course) - and to your credit, you're here and offering. He'd like that, I imagine; just not the apology. You have nothing to be sorry for that has been aforementioned of your past. I'd like to thank you for writing something that I feel somewhat close to, myself. Thank you for sharing your story thus far. ~ Josh
