I confidently and wholeheartedly accept love into my life.

Somebody says the thing you made was good, and the reply is already assembling itself. It was rushed. The brief was easy. You should have seen the first version.

Deflection feels like modesty and functions as a return to sender. The person offering something is left holding it in the middle of the room.

Accepting is a skill and a short one. Thank you, and then nothing. No qualification, no counter-compliment, no explanation of why they are mistaken. Try it once today and notice how physically difficult two words can be.
