judging you for it. God knows I operate like that too. I understand it
better than anyone. I don't want to ever force you into something you don't
want to do, but I think... at some point, you might need to open up about
all the things you shove aside. It doesn't have to be to me, but I hope you
know, when that moment comes, that you can always come to me, and I'll
always listen."
