4.4 : Going Her Own Way

As I look at her, I struggle with what to say.  I'm in awe of where we we are in comparison to where we were.  Our trip together has been challenging and rewarding.  The work in our relationship still continues, but the work is much easier than it once was.  I grew to know that she is a person who won't do something until she sees the reason and not before.  Thus she only talks when she has something to say, and I have to fight to get a word in edgewise on those days.  Other than that, she has her headphones on and is somewhere only she can go.  This I understand very well, as we share a similar type of imagination that can sometimes hamper us.  Also, it can bring us to places no one else thought existed.  I worry about the Demons in her head that make her anxious, but I also see the Angels leading her along.  They appear every time she finds something new that excites her.  In the end, she's forging her own road in a way only she can.  Hopefully she will let me come along.
