Doctor….What?

I know many folks are likely feeling that call of the void right now, whatever that might sound like. I feel like what I’m hearing most from people now is that the fear and uncertainty and pain is culminating into all of us falling back into the old habits that kept us safe and warm when the world was otherwise the scariest place we could be. I’m going to urge you here to fight it and I’m not going to give you some big song and dance about how strong you are and how much courage you have – because screw that.

Remember to Wear Protection….

It's a hard realization to have...that I've basically spent my life protecting myself from feeling the love and comfort or need of others because I'm too scared of getting used to it and wanting those things before they inevitably are gone. It's why I have a hard time being affectionate unless given permission to be fully affectionate. It's why it seems like my desire to have others in my life is an afterthought. It's why I'm always pleasantly surprised and drawn in when I'm basically told what I mean to someone because my brain is constantly telling me that I'm invisible and that that's the best way to be.
