Sometimes, when you are talking with someone, you get a sense of what they’re like when you’re not around.
You can just tell.
You can visualize it, hear it, feel it… “it” being the experience of what life in their world is like.
Sometimes when people say one thing, they often do another. Saving face. Putting up a good front. Trying to fit in.
But sometimes, it doesn’t matter what they say, really. The subtext of what they’re saying is clear enough. It’s all there, laid bare on the floor, and they don’t even realize it.
Sometimes, you can just tell.

The ankle is feeling slightly better. Anti-inflammatory meds are helping with that, but they also make me sleepy. Thank you to those of you who sent me kind words. I’m not proud of yesterday, but… well, it’s what was true for me. That’s all I can say. A lot of it is still true, so … :-/ But hey, you know what? I am working on it, and it’ll all get better. 🙂
