Well.

In the space of a fortnight or so, I seem to have caused a bit of Drama here and there, but also mended some bridges that were in disrepair. I'm not happy about the drama - if I hurt or anger people, I'd really rather it was deliberate and deserved - but glad that I've reached the point where I can bite the bullet and work on setting things right again. I feel like maybe I'm growing up just a little (but not in the annoying way that makes you wear boring grey suits).

I'd rather not give up on the things or the people who're important to me without a fight. It's a case of finding the right balance of humility and self-esteem, thoughtful phrasing and earnestness, listening and saying what needs to be said.

I'm by no means perfect at it, but I think I'm learning good things. Finally. Hopefully the trend continues.
