It is that way, isn’t it? I don’t let many people close (what a cliché) but they carry me with them after, just like they leave fragments, residue, bits of themselves embedded in me. What you said got me thinking about Locard’s exchange principle, but that’s another bad metaphor for another time. The point is I share and appreciate your sentiments.

Standard

Well, thank you. Closeness has been a thing for me, too, because I realize just how profoundly people do affect me. And, let’s face it, some have had the capacity to be pretty negative if I would have let them closer.

And, yes, it’s definitely Locardian. But I think both of us have exhausted the metaphors for the night.
