..I don't get it. What's so bad about the truth?

But sometimes truth is personal, and isn't anyone's concern beyond the person involved. 

Like my crush on Sol. 

[Ky turns instantly red, that isn't what he meant to say and he's fairly certain that he doesn't even think it's true.]

...Perhaps not change it, but at least keep from exacerbating it.

[patchworkdoctor]

I guess that's an experience I've never really had.

_{[and probably never will.]}

There are some things I wouldn't say but I don't think anything would change if anyone knew them.

...There's never been anything it would hurt if other people knew?

If that's the case I envy you.

I can confess everything, but hardly to everyone.

[patchworkdoctor]

Not really.

The only people who care about me are my partners, and there's not much they don't know about me.

[closedcircuit]

Ah. That sounds like an admirable position, in that case.

I'm glad you have everything worked out.

[patchworkdoctor]

It's not difficult. Humans can be simple when the mood strikes.

[closedcircuit]

And complicated at other times.

Which makes us complicated overall.

[patchworkdoctor]

I don't think it has to be complicated.

[closedcircuit]

I'm not sure there's really an alternative to that.

[patchworkdoctor]

Why not?

[closedcircuit]

Because humans are beings of emotions: of tempers, longing and caring. Because that makes things not simple, but in some ways that also makes things worthwhile. You can't tell a person to always behave logically, they'll revolt at some point because we feel more than we think, and our thinking is inextricable from our feeling.

And none of that is simple.

[patchworkdoctor]

I've never had a problem with it, personally.

[closedcircuit]

Sounds like a pity, and that you're missing out on things.
