Like, oh, of course I do love those people.

I saw this love in them that they were unexpected.

And then after the tunnel came this vision of myself.

P.S.

This was before I started really, really got into recovery for anorexia.

And it was myself, but like,

20 pounds.

This is too much information, but it was like, I was 20 pounds heavier and very at peace and beautiful.

And that sort of scared the shit out of me because my whole life I've been scared to death to get bigger.

And it was just this vision of my future self.

And then Andrea, it was so joyful, all of it.

And that was it.

Those are the only things that mattered.

And when I'm saying the words, this feels much less profound.

But when I'm telling you that was all that mattered, it was this, these people and this

self, this love of these people and this peaceful, whole, less fearful self.

And then what happened?

And then I could not stop laughing.

And there were a ton of other people in this class, Andrea, and they were having experiences.

I was bawling.
