When I moved away from my family in Kansas to Illinois, it was so hard. Moving to New York? I could never do it. Add in the other MAJOR things going on in your life, you've been through a lot Leslie. Take time to let it all process. You will get there. We are all cheering for you.

Personally, I think you...You ARE enough, Leslie! Personally, I think you're amazing, tenacious, and resilient, but that's just me. I also believe that we all wonder if we're enough. We all compare ourselves to others and find ourselves falling short. It's just human. But the fact is that even the most beautiful, successful, and talented among us also feel this way.<br /><br />It's important not to let others define and limit us--and it's easy to fall into that trap. When we're rejected, it's especially hard, but I think in those cases we should drop that load right back onto the one(s) who did the rejecting. We didn't fall short; they had unrealistic and perhaps selfish expectations. Or perhaps in the end, we just didn't "click," in which case it's better to discover that early rather than late.<br /><br />You're going to shine in Michigan. You're going to grow, recover, and come out even stronger than before. NYC is a wonderful and overwhelming place--my very brief visit, though, showed me what I already knew: I could never live there. Visit, sure. But every day with the crowds, the noise, the confusion, the rush ... well, that would kill my soul.<br /><br />I think you did just the right thing. And I'm happy for you! :oDL."Wren" Vandeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587456557210335403noreply@blogger.com
