Non-negotiables

 I have several non-negotiables toward my Jewel. 

1. I will always love and support you unconditionally. This does not mean that I will love and support everything you choose to do unconditionally. I reserve the right for discussion and persuasion. 
2. "The muse visits during the act of creation, not before." In other words, we will sit down and get to work.
3. Winning is like eating a bear. How do you eat a bear? One bite at a time. 
4. I will always receive what you have to say without judgment, even if I don't like it. 
5. We - you and I - will never be afraid to do the hard thing.
