You're not doing a stellar job distracting me with idle chatter. Life is not something to be ignored and swept under a mat. I've been living in limbo no matter how you sugarcoat it. Life is short and every beat matters. Every day is another notch in the cog of time fleeting. Life is a race to the finish line, an obstacle course of sorts. Ignoring the elephant in the room is an embarassing act of cowardice. Sometimes saying something-anything is better than the insult of shameless pussyfooting. AP: Honorable Mention 2025

I appreciate the strength of your words. I, too, dislike pussyfooting....don't have the stomach or the patience for it. Seems like a like of confidence...
