Sounds about right. You see, the Codie in me probably feels he needs to explain his actions. It's precisely that kind of thinking that our A's pray upon - the feeling that we need to take responsibility and make sure everyone is happy with our decision, when in reality we are the only person that needs to be happy with it. Difficult to wrap your head around entirely when you've been codie most of your life.
I've spent too long qualifying myself in my life. It's time to shed that behaviour forever.
