“I absolutely love you for this. You are fire which either burns for purity's sake, burns for destruction's sake or heat's up the next person's ass to seek their own truth. You ARE abrasive in a way that does not always make for "simple" conversation between you and I (I can only speak on OUR relationship), but you are a loving person and your arms are always open for reconciliation and sharing. Your spirit of conviction is absolutely contagious and your voice is courageous. I appreciate you and value your presence in my life...let their be no question about this. One Love fa real!”
