Carlos: I am so touched by this comment and can’t begin to describe what your words, your support and encouragement, have meant to me or how much they’ve moved me. I think it’s always so hard for me to see these things about myself and I’m not sure why, so when someone kind of recognizes that, I have a hard time believing it.

What I do believe, however, is what you say about having layers that tend to push people away — because I do see that. And a part of me wishes that wasn’t true, but yet another part embraces the fact that it’s also who I am. I wouldn’t know how to change that if I could…

I think in the past few weeks I’ve taken steps at removing that wall that I hadn’t even really realized I’d constructed. And what I feel underneath a bit of that ebbing fear is relief and excitement and a strength that I’ve had to be reminded of. I’m looking forward to what’s to come, to what’s already here, because I think it’s special and worthwhile and I am starting to understand that I might be, too.

Thanks for your words and your friendship, Carlos. My appreciation for both is beyond anything I could ever say.
