So often with other people I felt a need to be center of attention, to be funny and always have something clever to say. It was a habit I needed to shake. But with him I never felt like I had to be anything more than what I already was. I didnโt have to entertain him or think up jokes or even flirt.

I was wrong to criticize you for it or even imply that I had some kind of say in it. One of the greatest things about you is that in the end, you always make smart decisions. Canโt always say the same for myself. Whatever you need to do, Iโll support you.
