hey, huge *HUGGG* back! and thanks so much for the kind words. it is kind of an "it is what it is" situation, for both of us respectively, i suppose. sometimes it just feels good to expose a hurt and let it be witnessed, with empathy. not always so encouraged in our culture, but a good thing, nonetheless. i think just the witnessing can be really healing, even if it doesn't "cure" or "fix" the situation right away. so here's to seeing each other as best we can!
Well, at least you had fun!
Have a great day!
