*701 - is not very round at all

I have always shied away from awkward conversations, particularly those involving "um, you, like me, right, so, but I, you know, um," or some variation on that, and have always chosen to scamper away and hide and falsely believe that situations will just settle themselves peacefully like that.

But it always turns out that talking >>> not talking. Resolved two situations (almost concurrently, how odd) last night, one of which is a load off my mind, the other still making me feel slightly uneasy. Probably the biggest load off my mind, though, happened two weeks ago (has it really just been two weeks?) and I have been so much happier since then.

As it is now, I can only see a couple of awkward situations left to straighten out, so the drama in my life has ebbed significantly though not completely.

I feel like I can breathe a little easier now.
