charlie- I needed that encouragement. You have no idea how small and insecure i’m feeling. I didn’t ask anyone’s advice when writing everything I did. I have no idea if what I’m saying is right, smart or just completely stupid. Everything was just straight from my heart and on to the keyboard. Who gives me the right to push my feelings on someone else? I’m just so carried away with this whole thing. I daven for moish and… for binah, chachmah v’da’as- lots and lots of it. Cuz moish really pushes me to the limit 😉
areivim,
sorry for the late reply. If I had knows how insecure you were feeling I would have given encouragement sooner but I assumed that you knew that you were doing an amazing job. I really mean what I (and others) said before that your sensitivity and caring as well as your amazing enthusiasm for yidishkeit really come thru and that you should really get involved with — I hate the word but don’t know a better one — kids-at-risk. You have good answers for their good questions and also you really care, which is one major thing that teens need.
You mentioned somewhere, I don’t remember which thread that you are too afraid of the responsibilty and what would happen if you said the wrong word to someone. But the type of person who is afraid is exactly the one who is most suited for the job, not someone who takes it lightly.
But on the other hand you gotta chill too. You were getting too serious last week and you sounded like you weren’t sleeping at night and just falling apart. Just remember Lo alecha hamelacha ligmor… You aren’t doing moish or anyone else a favor by falling apart. I hope you’re feeling better this week and that I can hear some geshmake leytzunus from you soon, lol.
