the kind of thing that makes you proud (that nothing else had ever worked out)

I told J a while back that I require a lot of patience.

like.

even when you're at the end of your rope, and patient is the last thing you want to be.

yesterday, they apologized for getting frustrated with me so often and said that they need to be more patient with me.

it was genuine & we had a conversation about it, and things like that just mean the world to me.

I know I'm not easy to love, but hopefully it isn't actively challenging either.

more later
