Choice #2.
Here we go. You. I didn&#8217;t like you. I didn&#8217;t like you from the start. I think I pretty much told you that. Probably as a way to test the waters around you and see how I could handle you if need be.

		<description><![CDATA[As I continue developing this practice in meditation, I learn more about emotions. Emotions, as such, are on my mind.
Today I encountered fear. It came. I was with it. I didn&#8217;t invite it. It came to the front of my consciousness and I recognized it. Something someone said to me triggered it. Recognizing the process [...]]]></description>

I figured I&#8217;d give it a shot, so I got the name of a place in Cambridge, MA and checked it out. But was I really going  to be able to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I make myself the victim of my own unreasonable demands and unreasonable expectations. I&#8217;ve linked this behavior (dealing in unreasonable demands and  expectations) to things like borderline personality disorder, pride, and  self-hatred.
Right now, I have an unreasonable demand on myself to be so original that I (often unaware) reject being inspired by [...]]]></description>

Jack is moving some of survivors into the freshwater caves. There&#8217;s an exchange between Jack and Kate, where Jack indirectly breeches the subject of Kate joining them.
