I Have What I Want

I'm a little restless, and I really couldn't say why. Maybe it's because I actually sat down to write my story for the XJW board after 7 years of procrastination, and for the first time I realize that many of the problems we had were not JW problems. The JWs amplified and exacerbated them, like sublight through a magnifying glass. Only I was the poor bug being set on fire.

A true enough analogy, but I don't feel particularly sorry for myself anymore. I put up with it much longer than I ever should have.

Sometimes looking back is not fun. And I am learning how to stop looking back. There is too much to see in front of me these days. Hard to look at the ugly past when the present has such great scenery.
