Strong but delicate...

I spoke to a friend tonight, an ex to be honest.  We've had some unfinished business for the longest time.  I told him about the surgery and he asked if I was okay.  We talked for a little bit and it reminded me of how we were friends at one point and always cared for each other.  I had been there for him to share comforting words with the passing with his grandma and now he's trying to offer he same support for me.

As we talked, he did say something interesting.  He told me that I was a "strong woman but delicate."  It was interesting to hear it but I ask if this was something he figured out during the tenure of our relationship and he said yes.  It allowed me to frame myself.
