Sometimes I find I am talking in circles in an effort to clarify my thinking. My partner has learned to listen ad echo back, then challenge me at the end if I'm saying something off-base. I'm grateful he's taken the time to know me well enough to know that what comes out of my mouth is not always what I mean. It's very hard to not be angry and defensive when we are searching for clarity and aren't being heard as we are not even able to hear ourselves. <3

You do deserve to have sunshine. We are on the path of self-improvement and self-love together. I'm grateful for your company.
