Attempts to get in touch with the counselor that my family wants me to go to have, thus far, not come to fruition. Hopefully sometime next week I'll be able to meet with him, though frankly I have serious doubts that anything constructive will occur, since he offers, by his own admission, spiritual guidance, which is something I am not in need of.

The counselor I found for myself has continued to have a positive effect on me, even after the second session. I noticed that I was far less concerned and formal, compared to our first meeting, likely due to the vacation I've had from my family. I was less concerned with presenting the opinions of every given group, and more focused on my personal opinions regarding each subject.

I am feeling better and more confident about what I've done. I still need to keep myself in check, but it's good to not be wholly uncertain or afraid. I made mistakes, and I have no guarantees that who I am now is who I will be in five years, or that the decisions I make today shall be carried through for another two years. However, that these are my decisions, and that I shall act upon them to the best of my abilities, and in the best ways I know how, is become more and more certain with each session.

Hopefully things will continue on their course.
