Rock it Hun, grab every second you have somewhat free from this crap. It has taken me too long to learn to push/play do what ever on the few decent days I have. I've blown too much time and still do at times ( the depression, the MS illness, illness as in sick.....the whatever my excuse is - LOL)
I totally agree with NeuroNixed Craig " I love your drive, motivation, and rebellious attitude. YOU have taken control of yourself, refusing to be defined by others. GO FOR IT!"
Just one tip - Keep your rebellious attitude! It alone will take you many places, it will drive your mind and body to limits you can not imagine. I know as I was once one with such. Much Luv and Respect -
