I think I can comfortably say I am able to walk the talk. For me, though, that includes delayed walks. I think break-ups (no matter how tactful they may be) are always a form of constructive criticism, and the criticism often flows both ways. I can recall a specific break-up where I swore I could handle it (because I kind of I saw it coming), but then I reacted poorly on a number of occasions afterward. It took me a while to actually start behaving like I was okay with it, but the lessons weren't lost on me when I was reacting - they were just harder lessons to swallow, and swallow them I did.
