[How to explain without exposing her own... weaknesses. That's always the problem Abby has. Abby can't make a space that's so cozy for herself, because no space in her memory is. There are people, but she can't have them. So all she makes will be redefining herself in some way.]

Contentment is why this space isn't going to challenge you. If you're content, you don't need to reach for more right? I can't make a space I'd be content in, and maybe that's a good thing.

[Invective isn't a word Abby knows, but she's trying her best.]
