Not even sure where to start, but i'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face.
Not sure why I'm putting this in here I just felt drawn.
Jeez I don't want to turn it into an epic, but the whole thing started the day i was born, but long story short, I am surrounded by negativity, my family, my friends who don't live near me, they all believe I'm incapable of making a decision. They all know whats best for me, and any idea i have is vetoed because its wrong, and they feel they can say horrid stuff to me because 'they love me and only want the best for me'
And they wonder why I put 1000 k's between us...
I love my life here and my friends  here are fantastic and so supportive, sorry i do realise im rambling,
I just really need a hug

Hi Twistedwillow,
I am sending you an extremely large hug. You appear to need it right now. Please don't put yourself down because of other peoples negative perceptions. You are a unique individual who has a lot to give this world. Take a few moments each day to tell yourself 'I am perfect just the way I am' and 'My thoughts and feelings are just as important as anybody elses'. These two little phrases may help you regain a little bit of your own self-esteem and understanding of your worth. Please believe me when I say that I am not preaching. The reason I know these phrases work is because I too was undergoing similar things as you. I questioned everything I did; didn't think anything I did was good enough, etc. but when I began using these phrases I soon grew to understand that it was the other people who needed to think that I was helpless and needed them. Since then I have grown closer to my family as they understand just how capable I am at living my own life. I know that the same can be said for you and I wish you all the happiness I recieved from this. But please, in the meantime, along with my hug I am sending you love and positive thoughts. Take great care of yourself, and remember you always have a friend who is only a thought away.

BIG ((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))))))))))))) twistedwillow!
It seems you have realized what is true with most people! We are born with pure , clear minds and as we grow our minds are "tainted" by the teachings of people who "think" they are "doing what is best or right" for us...let me tell you...You and YOU alone have the power within you to be happy, joyous, and free! The hard part is "letting go" of all the things we were taught as that's all we know...
Coming here is the first part of your journey...take a look around the site and learn...there is much to read! Learning to meditate is a good start...it lets you see for yourself the real you!
I wish you all the best and much happiness! It can be yours if you allow it!

Sending you a warm (((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))) and lots of positive energy!
