Statement of fact -or- Between you and me at least, I turned out better.

I am an obsessive person. I have been so my whole life. Later, in college, it manifested itself in some terrible ways. This isn't going to be an artful post, or one that I will look back on as well written. It's just a statement of fact. I have spent the past couple of years learning to direct unhealthy behaviors and compulsions in a positive way. And you know what? I'm doing alright. I am back in school, in good shape, keep my house clean and my affairs in order. I have awesome friends, a solid relationship with someone that I respect, a best lady friend that I look up to even though we're eye level. I have goals that make sense. I no longer am paralyzed by fear or failure. I am completely and utterly myself. For the first time in years. That's a crazy thought, that I have been sneaking around in the shadows. What have I been so scared of?
