I recognise a lot in this, so, here's what I've learned in case it helps. Being angry has been really good for me, it's helped me rebuild myself and change my perspective. Looking back, I think I was good enough. I think that because I'm now living a life where I get to be good enough and I get a lot of positive feedback about what I'm doing. I haven't really changed what I'm doing, but I have changed who I am doing it with, and for. I think maybe I was always good enough and that the problem was that I wasn't appreciated enough, and no one came to meet me half way, or shared responsibility before. I thought everything was my fault, my failing and that I couldn't inspire love, or enthusiasm or desire and frankly I was wrong about that, because I can and I do. So I'm forgiving past me - I could not have tried harder, and it wasn't me. Maybe it wasn't you either, maybe you just weren't being appreciated enough.
