I have never been one to like the “grey” area of anything.   To me there is no in-between, there is right or wrong.

I remember being a dreamer at a young age, but I also remember believing there was a yes or a no, never a maybe.   There was an up and a down, never an in-between. My top three patterns are used constantly. I use sequence and precision when I’m doing my homework, or reading a recipe to cook a meal. I use technical reasoning when I work doing remodel work on my rentals. I like to take things apart and learn how to put...
