This was lovely and thoughtful. I too have noticed that nestled inside talk, including gossip, is something that is sometimes less about another person, thing, or place, and more about the speaker. I'm so glad you have a friend who listens to you, and that you are doing the same for them, each listening to what you are really saying.

First, this line is superb: I mean the full embracing of another person, the deliberate drawing them into your world despite the spikiness of your external differences. And second, what a perfect observation. reminds me of when Juan would say - after I'd vented - "we all need to let off steam otherwise we will boil over and burn everyone around us."
