Sometimes it takes some kind words from an old friend to remind you that you are going in the right direction:

It sounds like you’ve truly found  yourself and I believe that of the very few people in this world who actually have an opportunity to find themselves and  really discover who they are, even fewer are lucky enough to truly love the person that they find. I feel so privileged to have someone like you in my life, someone who has literally stepped off the edge of a cliff… and soared.
