A lot of our discussion today focused on me not holding back on who I am. Being more open about joking around and laughing. Not worrying as much about how she might respond and just being the person I want to be. If I want to comment on something, or make a joke (even if it has some innuendo), or express my gratitude, then that's what I should do.
