Me and Bec - Part 4: Growth together



It has been a strange thing to toe the line between sensitivity to ones needs and the indulging of ones shortcomings, and the strength of Bec and my relationship comes from being able to do that well, though the skills again have not come to us easily.

It seems to be a natural part of human interaction, to skirt the issues that make others agitated and emotional, especially a society like ours, whose fear of social discourse tends to outweigh any desire for meaningful interaction.

And whilst it is the most uncomfortable thing to explore, nothing needs scrutiny like that which triggers our emotions. Rather than simply being points of unrest in our relationship, agitation now serves as an indicator for areas that need attention, for mature conviction rests on the faculties of truth and reason, a fact often obscured by heated argument and resentment. Such evaluation has served us well, bringing consistency and clarity to our persons.
