I had a long conversation with a dear cousin as he navigates through the 21 day Contemplation journey. He was happy to let me share this, even his name but I just felt like removing that any way.

When I read the chat out to a friend, she could relate to so much of it, and requested me to put this up in a blog post in case it helps other people. So here goes.

His first message is a response to a question about whether he could love himself as he was.
