*raises her hand and clears her throat*

AV, I won't repeat anything these very wise posters have written. Just know that LAW is right on the money, and that, as dark as things might seem right now, have faith...you might be surprised at what happens from here. I know I was, and that I like the me I am now a helluva lot better now than the me of six months ago. And, as shocked as *I've* been, I know there are many Pixies out there who can attest my turnaround. Just when you think there's no hope, a ray of light might come peeking through the clouds when you least expect it.

Every person who comes into our lives, no matter how brief the contact or deep the relationship, changes us and makes us the person we become in the future. Most often, those changes are for the better. Give it time...take it day by day, or take it minute by minute if you need to. What's meant to happen will happen.
