I'm sorry he couldn't be there, if he would have stopped this.

...I don't think there's such thing as "too nice", I think sometimes it's just that selfish people are drawn to nice people and take advantage without thinking about the consequences.

[a shake of his head]

Don't be. He would be shaking his head right now, looking disappointed, worried, and relieved. Then asking me whether I learned my lesson.

[his pout disappears, morphing into a smile at the thought]

Really?

[ He glances over again, nodding. ]

Yeah. Really.

Like, I don't like the idea of [ one hand uncurls from the steering wheel for a moment to form half a set of air quotes, ] "too nice". Being nice isn't a failing or a weakness.

[ Not with his big, soft heart, it isn't. ]

I don't think there is anything wrong with it being a weakness. You can even change it into a strength.

Yeah, you totally can. I think most anything about a person can be turned into a strength.

And strengths can become weaknesses!

Yeah, totally. So I think that's why you can't get too caught up in thinking you're one thing or the other. Because you can change.

Mm! I agree! Change doesn't happen overnight but if one keeps at it, it's possible.

Yeah, of course. It's like anything that's important and gonna last. You have to put in the work, and it takes time. But it's doable.

So where am I taking you?
