I am looking for a financial planner to consult with. I am fantasizing about my long-term peace and happiness.
Not being a priority is very hurtful indeed. i am so glad you are in control, because i've learned that sometimes you have to do what you have to do for YOU.

i learn that it feels better to read words of someone who has felt exactly as i have, that's pretty awesome
