after re-reading my post here. i'm thinking "wow, i seem / appear like a bitch."
when i'm not!
a part of me likes to get it out in the open and talk about it, while maintaining my sense of self worth, and being in a centered / grounded space.
and a part of me does like to walk away, but not for long. i'll usually say "i need to leave the room, but i will be right back." and when i do come back, i'm ready to communicate.
i feel better now...
