A600KiloBear: it’s funny how you can learn so much about a person from his posts…
Who are you?
Name: Itzik ? some sort of bear?

Well, the first thing that stands out strongly is honesty. Only someone who is honest, drop dead honest, would do what you did- say your leaving, “this is my last post” ect. and return and say straight out with a B”SD at the top- “I’m rethinking”. Wow…
I 1000% agree with arievim- “you can teach me a thing or 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5…)”
only, i would take away the parenthesis. and the “or”.
and i don’t think there is much left to say.
Because i’m talking to someone who made such a turnaround (many times over apparently) with such courage and conviction in doing what’s right, that i’m just left quite speechless…
I sort of feel like… who am i to say anything to you?
Did I sit through 7 years of classes and then become frum?
Do i struggle to keep kosher 100% in an area where it’s hard to even find a kosher symbol?
and there obviously is so so much more.
But, (pause) I do have one thing to say.
Yes, you might be the only one in the world in your unique situation.
But you know why?
Because you are the only one CAPIABLE of surviving it.
Not I, your neighbor or the friend next door.
Your pain is strong, But SO ARE YOUR STRENGTHS!
they are so glaringly strong…
Jump over and run!
with flying colors!
Because we need you…
Klal Yisroel needs you…
