have you found that you are more or less tolerant as you get older? why do you think that is?

Less tolerant of BS... Because as I age it becomes ever more apparent that time is finite. I want to spend as much of that time as possible with those who treat me and my loved ones authentically and with respect.


Have you ever taken a friendship to the next level, then been able to recover the friendship because you probably should have just been friends all along?

No. Tried, always ended up being awkward for someone or another.


What defines your real life day-to-day "family" and/or system(s) of support?
