Well, no hugs here, but I'm sorry you didn't pass.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, ita.

On my first black belt test, I got lost in a kata I had done hundreds of times before and then ran out of the room. It was not my finest hour. I know you did better than that. I'm not offering hugs, but I'm sure you realize you were under some extraordinary stressors over the past year.

I'm glad you gave everything you had and feel confident in your skills. That you were able to do so is kind of a marvel, all things considered, but I'm sorry it didn't get the result you wanted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Maybe it wasn't a matter of how much you had to give but in how you gave it? Because that is methodology and that CAN be changed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that. Sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
how you gave it? Because that is methodology and that CAN be changed.
I don't want this to sound arrogant, but my how is pretty good. I mean, the things to know, and how to execute them is my thing. If he wants my spirit to change...I don't know how.

Because books.

That seems very sensible to me.
I am sorry you didn't pass, but I know better than to offer hugs. Maybe I'll punch a wall pillow later instead, in your honor.

I'm amazed that you get anything done with all your migraines, ita. I'm impressed as hell that you do krav at all and even moreso that you do so well at it and the colors of belts mean nothing to me, so brown sounds fantastic. (This is all said from a not-even-close-to-hugging distance, and was thought long before you ever even mentioned taking the black belt test.)
