God, I love you.

The matters of *lucky* and *unfortunate* are subjective keywords that get thrown at an objective life. YOU, special lady, push... hard. You have something that many don't... a belief and trust in yourself. You jump... when you know you might fall... and, you trust that you will either land, or pick yourself up again.

Many people live a life of fear and self-loathing. They can't see the world from their personal forest... or even that forest from the tree they keep trying to drill syrup out of. They don't try... because failure exists. They don't regroup... because it's easier to be a mess. They don't re-invent... because what's readily available is merely easier to work with.

I respect and admire you... because people like you are RARE.
I hope you understand how rare you are.
Beyond "personal responsibility"... you have the greatest religion in the universe... an understanding and belief in yourself. :)

Viviennui said everything I wanted to say! Then again, I only know you from twitter, zivity, this blog, etc. But you are a remarkable person. I can only add that I find your "having-it-togetherness" all the more remarkable because you got it together so young. (I'm 46, and have always had that same sense about personal responsibility, just not as much courage in my 20s as I got in my 30s and beyond.) Your optimism is wonderful, too. Thanks for sharing this with us!
