    The only people I’ve told were individually rationalized as part of them understanding the potential risks, benefits, and expectations associated with the magnitude of presence I had in their life. In general, most are better off if I don’t communicate freely, including myself.

        potentially embellished to fake

        Imagine my perspective knowing such is the audience’s perception.

        Some nuance is better kept outside the digital world and individualized.
