I went for a run today! I feel much better. Well, much worse at the current moment, for I just finished the run, but during the run I felt great. I was bopping along, thinking I was doing really well for not having run in a *long* time, and it was truly a thing I can do for myself, which is all I have going for me personally right now.
Anyway, now I have to go read Connor some stories. Maybe I’ll continue this trend, and things will start to appear better, even if nothing actually is. It all about perception, right?

I’m sorry you’ve been vulnerable lately. Part of that, as you’re noticing, is that, in your needs-paradigm, you haven’t figured out how to sate yourself.
Me either.
So, uh, yeah. A past therapist of mine told me that I see the world in terms of needs and how they can be met, which isn’t always realistic since my definitions aren’t necessarily universal–or even reciprocated.
If I had to pass off lame advice, it would be to tell people close to you what you need from them. Everything from “I need you to be silly” to “I need you to compliment me” to “I need you to listen.” I’m constantly surprised at how much the major people in my life miss out on what I thought they already understood.
Because even if you’re not so convinced of it, the people in your life see you as special in legitimate and powerful ways.
…so try to let the good sink in?
