That's true. I try to be honest and not evasive or prevaricate with her, but it's so tough because I really like her--she's a great person, aside from being a caring and fantastic counselor. So I tend to wanna pile on the masks around her. Lately, I've been forcing myself to take them off, one at a time, and tell her how I feel and how I really am. WHO I really am. It's slow going, but I think I'm making progress.
