When you request honesty, I deliver. Knowing what I'll be met with is judgement. You can tell me 100 times in a row that you're working on changing, but the year's responses have taught me what to expect. I may act aloof, but I'm not naive. I've learned to hide the true expectation of disappointment [...]

“Start Where You Are”
Is it always so strange to see things from a perspective other than what we're comfortable with? The word "comfortable" is used so flippantly day to day.
