I can be handy around the house, I cook, do groceries, have a job that allows me a great deal of time flexibility I often use to accommodate last-minute changes (like a kid needing to go to the doctor, someone needs to be home for package delivery), can stand up to her mother (although she did that just yesterday on her own, I should write about that later today, it was pretty badass), we have quite open communication and generally try to be a good father. You would think that the last two points are no-brainers, but it turns out that doing these two things automatically puts you ahead of the average, at least judging by relationships in our sphere.

beautiful response~!

communication is a no-brainer, but it's just always something i've struggled with (both of us if i'm being honest). i've really had to work at it to build the skill.

the written word has always been easier for me, i guess because i process things a bit more slowly..? but also because i deeply feared being seen in the moment.

there are sooooo many things that go into good communication, so i think you're right—it does put you above average. :3

(also, you *should* write about that courageous moment~!)
