I wanted to link to you but of course I still can't post, third day now, and I realise I answered way too condensed and possibly misleading for people on another wavelength but I've got too many thoughts and they're bursting and not neatly downwritable and as I said, I know either people understand or they refuse to be honest.
I also think some people are kinder due to not being mean; I tend to be hard with myself, but compared to others I know I'm more empathic and cringe from certain actions (but I'm not at peace with myself, so I'd not agree there in general). When I meant "love" I'm talking the American usage that's everywhere now. It would take too long for me to explain ... what is generally sold under that word is nothing, whereas trying to work with all the myrad of tiny grievances and dislikes and misunderstandings in a relationship to me is the true attempt to love someone and all that blather about of course one loves ones children or parents is the worst lie of all.
Yes, yes, so I'm glad you wrote something up, really am.
