Permission vs Forgiveness
This idiom has been the explanation to many of my actions. I have seen, heard, and felt your growth as a person. The fault here is my thoughts defaulting to a previous time. I assume the reaction being negative so I take a chance and deal with the aftermath later. I still own the fact of these selfish decisions.
Cabin Fever
Maybe I have been feeling seasonal feelings. December is filled with family time and January I end up lounging around, decompressing from the previous year. Come end of January it's been a long stretch of TV watching plus family affairs. I still fully enjoy our time at home.
I just sometimes stress about friends and our connections with others that also need attention. I reminisce on how casual it was to invite a friend over. Navigating and maturing with a generation shows it's complexities, but I'd like to think that our bond has kept it's child like roots of fun and laughter. The hard part being the balance between youthful feelings and the realities of adulthood (time management).
Planning Ahead
This is a skill that has and will take a lifetime to hone. Taking a page from your book to help me help us grow in our relationship. I till hope you see the small things I do to let you know you're on the top of my mind. I hope you still see the progression as I do, each passing moment the communication gets stronger. Frustratingly it isn't always a linear ascension but still a growth reaching upwards.
