There is no light at the end of the tunnel for us. We are who we are.
My friend Wicker once said to be careful what and how you say what you__e really thinking to a woman. After much screwing up in that department with Emma, I__e learned it__ not what you should hide, but what you say that makes her react the way she does. If I am unable to make myself clear, as I so often do, it__ more likely going to go to pot if I try to explain how I really feel. Instead, I rework in my brain what she needs to hear. I don__ always nail it, but I__ getting better at it. And it__ always the truth even if it isn__ how I see it.Is it deceiving? No. It__ being considerate and aware that she is an emotional creature, and that for some crazy reason, craves my attention. I love to make her happy. My jumbled up mess of a mind isn__ important in the long run if it just confuses her. So I chose words carefully. When something goes right, I use it over and over again. -Ames
