How awesome is HIVE for catharsis? I know it probably helped you sort out stuff in your head - good on you. You sound like such a perceptive person, and an attentive friend.
I guess it's hard to listen to/be in tune with everyone all the time. Sometimes if we dont bring our A game it's easy to not properly 'read' what are people are feeling or thinking.
I think we all do our best. We're all bloody weird. And how bloody wonderful is that.
You're so right!
