I keep re-reading your response to last night's long email. I really want to tackle this. I know it's gonna be uncomfortable and I have accepted that. I am ready. Funny how I didn't even realize this was a 'thing' for me until I saw that online course about it and the description just fit. I'm glad you're willing to help me work through the course.

Well, I should have realized it, because you knew it was a long time ago and I just wouldn't believe you. Silly Artie. You know what else? I just realized!!!!!! You know how when you point something out to me so that I can know it and work on it (like recently), I always, always, always take it as criticism? That's part of all of this, isn't it?! omg. I just looked it up. It is. "Hypersensitivity to criticism".

Oh and, I miss our hugs. So much.
