I think openness is of course very important for any relationship to truly work, but I also think that (in my opinion, anyway ) a certain amount of space is necessary too. Just because you're in a relationship with someone doesn't mean that you can't have your own thoughts, feelings, and outlets that are yours alone. If I let someone in on every last detail of my life, I start to feel smothered, and then I resent them for it. I'm not saying that you should shut them out completely, but you should each have your own space from time to time. That's just my view on it.

I know how tough all this is for you right now. Know I'm sending lots of hugs and good vibes.

we pushed you down deep in our souls, so hang on.
