/>Thank you, thank you. You’re far too kind.
It’s mind-boggling to realize the effects one person has another. Good or bad, it happens. You don’t want to realize it when it’s bad, but you can’t believe it when it’s good. In the long run, you just come to terms that you’ve grown from it, and that’s the real gift.
I’m very aware of how I handle situations. I can never keep the good of what’s going on in my life to myself, but always bottle up all the bad. This post is no different. This is not something I expect people to read on their dashboards; please breeze right through it, and claire-bear with me as I take the time to write about the effects of someone who very quickly became important to me.
To you:
