Life is always how hard and bad we want things to be. Life hasn't changed. My father does not teach me skills and stuff quite as often as the 'caring dad' does. But when he does, I really know something that I am not proficent in while listening to him uncover the flaws that i have -- this is the case in speech and understanding of the subject for a given conversation.
Sometimes I dont get to see the bigger picture of the beginning of the conversation, sometimes all the way right up to the end. And just tonight, my father had the chance to mention to me that I should really speak revolving a central point that I intended for my audience. In other words, I tend to beat around the bush -- though i would really want to get straight to the point.
I tend to incur flowery speech.... it comes with wearing flowery shirts, does it?
