Walking home in bare feet helps

So does being really busy, so does having a sister living in Wellington now, so does having friends that come and check on me when i'm on my own for too long, so does being able to laugh at myself, even my apparent incompatibility with the opposite sex, so does feeling strong enough to accept that there are some things that are such an innate part of you, you recognise that you won't compromise them, no matter how much you'd like to....

Maybe I am tough.
