I too feel this way, why can’t we be loved for our thoughts and loves as opposed to our coverings? Why judge my skin and clothes when you could have my soul?

As an aside, you don’t have to soften anything! I admire strongly held opinions and fiery words, they light fuel under ideas and shoot them upwards!

It’s only that “softening” I have decided is my lesson in life right now. My nature is to stand and fight, argue and win. I want to temper that and find some peace. ☺

When I have time, I’m going to go and read your back catalogue!
