I really appreciate your supportive comments. It is one uphill struggle trying to believe in yourself, no matter how small, it is difficult. the two things that give me pleasure in life is writing (though that can be a chore) and photography.. It's only recently that I feel i am kinda good at something, it's concentrating on that while battling the 'demons' inside my head.
