yes... it builds sometimes slowly. the analogy i had heard was if you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will hop out right quick. but if you put a frog in water and slowy bring it to a boil, the frog will just sit there and not realize the danger.
that was how a youth counselor described my life. it makes a lot more sense now looking back than it did then. i had no idea how far the roots went to what we have lived through.
