Listen.

Just so you know, I'm frustrated with you in a sense that you still texted me after I had asked you. You need to learn to become more personable and be able to communicate face to face. It's just common courtesy to me.

Also, although I was expecting this, and although I'm very frustrated, I understand. I understand the struggle and I understand the desire. I understand your thirst for the gospel and keeping on the right track. I understand your passion for people and for seeing that simple smile to keep them moving forward. I understand your need for staying motivated because if you don't keep swimming, you're done. I understand you. I'm not frustrated about your decision, I hope you know. I just hope you understand where I'm coming from, too.
