And I& #39;m aware that ardor can sometimes be seen as naive. Also fine. I get it. Also, I consciously try to rid myself of envy, being offended, doubt. Not in a religious way, but because I don& #39;t like stuff that slows me down. Those things slow people down.

I felt like posting this because I feel like getting to know the people I interact with on here in ways other than through opinion. And these words feel more me than opinion, review, response ever do.
