I am a product of war.
both sets of my grandparents met because of the war.

There's nothing to fear but fear itself. Why? Is it because fear just feels taxing and stressful and overall bad, or is it more complicated than that? Fear can make people do desperate things, but worst of all it can make us push so hard one way that the opposite ends up happening. Sometimes to avoid awkward situations (because we're fearful of them) we blurt out what it is that would be awkward in an attempt to get it out of the way. I do this too, it's a defense mechanism. I see this happening often with relationships. Someone likes someone but has been hurt so many times they come fourth on the first couple times talking about it and blurt out every single flaw they can muster because that means if the person still likes them after knowing all that there's a chance they won't leave. Is this really the way to go? Most people say no, it's too much at once and you'll scare them off either because you have too many problems or because you sound too down on yourself. In my opinion say what's important. You're terrified of lightbulbs? That one can wait. You're a very jealous person? Might want to mention that one. There will be time to bring out the little things, and later on it keeps it interesting. It's refreshing to find out something new about someone you've been with a long time. It's also a little scary because you thought you knew them and change is unnerving. I think finding a good balance between what you state upfront and what you withhold for the right moments is key.

goa new phone :) EnV2. EnV3 wasn't much more but I really didn't like it as much aethetically and the only other difference was a 3mp camera instead of 2mp, but that doesn't matter much to me. I say if you really want a quality photo buy a camera.
