Thanks a lot man, that means a lot to me. You have no idea (or maybe you do) how good it feels to know people out there have been where we are and to be able to relate to other people. Yeah, I've had to do this too. I've always been somewhat co-dependent on other people's wellbeing for my own but when this happened I just stopped having enough energy to deal with everyone else and with myself. I actually had to cut some people away during this and they were doing me more harm than good. Some of them I reconnected with recently, and some I haven't. It's life though, and sometimes you just have to focus on yourself. You shouldn't go around helping other people at your own expense. Thanks a lot man. You seem like a cool dude too, and I hope the best for you.
I think the lack of energy in us is because in the back of our minds we've come to realize some ugly and dark truths. Since 2008 it seemed touch and go for a while. What progress we make in this country can be rolled back by small minded, ignorant people afraid of change. We can't let that happen. It's weird here at hubski, it's like collectively most of are maturing. This is a good sign.
