Mother's so proud of me lately. More than usual, at least. It almost doesn't seem entirely real.

... It'd be difficult to say without over-generalising.

For me, it was something like instinct, though it would be a lie to say it didn't need some encouragement.

[treatinferiors]

Let's not resort to that.

The kind of instinct that seems more like shouting you'd not heard-- Or something different?

[loyalbound]

Agreed.

I'm not sure. The sort I was unaware of until I cared to look, perhaps.

[treatinferiors]

It's so much easier to... [look the other way.]

Is it better? The certainty, I mean.

[loyalbound]

I'd be lying if I said everything is completely certain now. Choosing one's own path seems to inevitably come with doubt. But even so, yes. I would say so. Not easier, but better.

[treatinferiors]

How?

1/2

[loyalbound]

[ wow how on earth does he answer this ]

[loyalbound]

The doubt I feel now is doubt over my own decisions, rather than doubt over something I once felt I had no choice but to follow.

[treatinferiors]

I wouldn't expect doubts to just vanish. To be fair.

[loyalbound]

No. It appears to be... "par for the course", I believe the saying goes.

[treatinferiors]

I wouldn't know.

[loyalbound]

You don't have doubts over any decisions you've made?

[treatinferiors]

No. I meant about things being 'par for the course.'

[loyalbound]

It's not a familiar phrase for you either?

[treatinferiors]

Not particularly.

[loyalbound]

Oh.

[treatinferiors]

Quite.
