It sure does run deep. Too deep for many to see. I am cautious now about speaking my truth to everyone and in this case I misjudged the situation. He's clearly not ready for this message and it is not my place to persuade him. Just a shame it led to rudeness.
Have all but forgotten what it is to feel lonely. Even here in France where no one speaks my language I feel good now... as long as I get my internet hit every now and then ;)
Installation day tomorrow!
