frances, this is exactly what i'm talking about. you're not being true to yourself or me. you claim to have left your past life in the past, but here you are giving shout-outs to the people of your past. how can you disconnect yourself from the past when you're staying connected to it with shoutouts? what's up waco ??? i would think that with the problems you've had there, you would want to flee that city like it was sodom and gamarrah! i've giving you all the advice i know. i don't have to tell you that i love you, because you already know that i do, but i'm letting you know that i think that it's gonna start to fade. in any event though, you'll allways own a spot in my heart. with love, james calvin miller
Nikkie, you have known for years that not everything nor everyone is what they appear to be. Regardless of the changes you've made in your life you must realize that you can't, nor should you attempt to be all things to people you care about and who care about you. Those that expect such of you have set you up for failure in their eyes and by doing so, place on you the burden of their own deficiencies, failings and mistakes. A burden that is theirs to bear, not yours. Remember: to thine own self be true. You've first one person to answer to, yourself, and not to any individual claiming you've not lived upto their requirements or expectations of you! Your past will always be a part of you. It is that which has brought you to this point in your life giving you the courage and desire to change. Our past doesn't determine where we are in life, merely where we've been! Don't run from it! Embrace it, learn from it and move forward to a better life! No Matter What, Lord Dennis Fountain
