We've realized Ari is way more avoidant than we had any idea, and I'm way less avoidant. But that's also how it is sometimes where if one person is avoidant, the other one, like, there's always one.

I was so tough my whole, like, you know, I was so tough. I was so this, I was like,

kind and sweet and affectionate, but this, like, hard exterior that anytime I felt unsafe, like, I would just shell up and, like, bye, everybody bye. And just God is like, nope, not anymore.
