More thinky thoughts

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

 

I dare you not to sing along with that. And you're welcome. 

Anyway, hi.
I have had a weird emotional landscape the last 24 hours. Visiting with the new therapist really has had me feel like a snail whose shell's been removed. I want my shell back!! Talking about my story with her just aired out a lot of dark, dusty corners. I'd not expected that degree of fragile. I'm working on seeing that as an indicator rather than a weakness to be scorned internally.  Talking to pygment this morning helped me frame it in a compassionate way and conveniently, drwex 's recent posts have meant being introspective on how brains are structured and how we move through the world, so I have been able to step away from my sense of anxiety and self-judgement. Reading the prompts and responding to them give me the perspective and distance that let's me move through and not be so stuck there. 

And there's that connecting thought: by interacting and giving love and support to my friends, I feed myself.
