You and I certainly traveled parallel (and relatable) paths through our lives didn't we? I'm happy for the two of us... we came out of the darkness and into the light.

I lived with a roommate in college. I've since graduated but when we were getting used to each other she wasn't the cleanest person in the world, certainly not up to my standards of cleanliness. Over time as we got used to each other I decided her kind and warm nature outweighed our differences in cleanliness standards and I think of myself as very fortunate to have had her as a roommate (especially after hearing the horror stories other people have to endure).

This is a great example of turning darkness into light. Most of us have situations in our lives of this lesson. If only we choose to see them. thank you for your feedback, Rhea!
