From A’s journal:

good communication are paramount for successful risk-taking. And how it’s so much more beautiful and complex if both people are doing the risk-taking and not just one conforming to the other.

M noted my communication was vague, and I’ve been thinking about what parts of me were intentionally removed, for the good of mankind. J offered some tactics today for finding convergence between thinking I don’t care and feeling like I don’t care.

I just had a funny memory of M commenting on not wanting me to be at work being upset about her and this internal defensive kick reaction that amounted to “you don’t know anything about my day.” Heh. Life’s funny.
