I didn't think you sounded miserable, just a bit sad. As we get older, we don't take quite so much nonsense before we say enough. Even if it is the right decision, we can still feel sad for the past.
I really hope tomorrow goes well. It will be like the first day at school. You sound very professional but it's understandable to be nervous.
So good luck, enjoy the challenge

No, I don't have a diary. My immediate challenge is more to with managing anxiety. However the diaries here have been a tremendous help over the last few weeks as it has been a way of interacting with the world, even if has been the MSE world - what more friendly world could I find?
So thank youDon't get it perfect - Get it goingBetter Than Before0 -

So glad that you feel like this.
I think that MSE is awesome & have been lucky enough over my years here to make some amazing friends & some I have even been lucky enough to meet in RL.
