I AM ME IN ALL THE WORLD, THERE IS NO ONE ELSE EXACTLY LIKE ME EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF ME IS AUTHENTICALLY MINE BECAUSE I ALONE CHOSE IT
I OWN EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, MY BODY,MY FEELINGS, MY MOUTH, MY VOICE, ALL MY ACTIONS, WHETHER THEY BE TO OTHERS OR TO MYSELF I OWN MY FANTASIES, MY DREAMS, MY HOPES, MY FEARS I OWN ALL MY TRIUMPS AND SUCESSES, ALL MY FAILURES AND MISTAKES BECAUSE I OWN ALL OF ME I CAN BECOME INTIMATELY ACQUANITED WITH ME BY SO DOING I CAN LOVE ME AND BE FRIENDLY WITH ME IN ALL MY PARTS I KNOW THERE ARE ASPECTS ABOUT MYSELF THAT PUZZLE ME, AND OTHER ASPECTS THAT I DO NOT KNOW BUT AS LONG AS I AM FRIENDLY AND LOVING TO MYSELF, I CAN COURAGEOUSLY AND HOPEFULLY LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS TO THE PUZZLES AND FOR WAYS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ME HOWEVER I LOOK AND SOUND, WHATEVER I SAY AND DO, AND WHATEVER I THINK AND FEEL AT A GIVEN MOMENT IN TIME IS AUTHENTICALLY ME
IF LATER SOME PARTS OF HOW I LOOK, SOUND, THOUGHT AND FELT TURN OUT TO BE UNFITTING, I CAN DISCARD THAT WHICH IS UNFITTING, KEEP THE REST, AND INVENT SOMETHING NEW FOR THAT WHICH I DISCARDED
I CAN SEE, HEAR, FEEL, THINK, SAY AND DO I HAVE THE TOOLS TO SURVIVE, TO BE CLOSE TO OTHERS, TO BE PRODUCTIVE, AND TO MAKE SENSE AND ORDER OUT OF THE WORLD OF PEOPLE AND THINGS OUTSIDE OF ME I OWN ME, AND THERE FOR I CAN ENGINEER ME I AM ME AND AT 53...I AM OKAY

Started your mini Macdonald house yet Cath? Lol!
It was lovely to spend the evening with you on your birthday, sorry I didn't get to say bye properly, Reece was eager to get in the car. He was freezing!
