    I went to visit my grandparents for the first time in twenty years! Wow.
    Thank you @NoFap! Thank you for the courage to make the step. Thank you for the self-confidence.
    We agreed I'll call them next week.
    The closer I got there, it started looking like a dream, entering a trance state.
    So nervous, so energetic, breathing heavy. When I entered the town where my family lives, it felt like coming home... I became euphoric.
    I'm happy I saw them, that I didn't come too late. They're over 80 years old.
    I also met a cousin. I hope we can be friends again.

  2. Great to hear it worked out, if more people were closer to their family I definitely believe the planet would be alot more peaceful, but alot of people seem to hold onto many bad images of what parents, grandparents, etc were like as children growing up, when as adults things are a much different story.

    It wasn't so much what they did. But what I did. I went the wrong way as a teenager. And all these years I was scared to face them. My life still isn't perfect. But I couldn't wait anymore. Time's ticking away.
    I can see the link you make between a closer family and a more peaceful planet. I still store resentment towards my father. I don't know how I'll get over that. But I'll work on it.

    I'm looking for articles on the subject of forgiveness, moving on. Same as with handling pmo addiction, gathering information is probably a good place to start. Let's put the internet to good use for a change. Good luck to you.

    for me, the way I think is that, if some one causes me hurt deliberately, they have to suffer. There is no gng around it. Life doesn't make sense if I was to not do anything to the person that hurt me, it might be burning me inside, I don't care. I have plans for him.

    Through forgiveness I'm looking for peace. I have to move on before I can enjoy life.
    Thank you kindly.

    "Welcome back to the family." Those kind words I've been lucky to hear my grandfather say today. Now I'll have to work hard to keep them true.
    I met my uncle and aunt too. We're meeting again soon.
    I'm collecting phone numbers, of people I love. Dear NoFap, my heart is healing.
