Notes

  • it’s snowing again this morning
  • headache became a migraine
    • can I just crawl under a rock and die?
  • Tuxedo Cat’s father didn’t come to visit today
    • this of course triggered disappointment and feelings of being brushed off in me and naturally when I expressed that, it created friction between us
      • perhaps it would have been better to keep my shit to myself
      • he has enough on his plate to deal with
        • I don’t need to be an extra burden
          • he said he didn’t like it that I seem to be so upset so often
            • you can’t tell someone you don’t love them and then expect them to be happy

Today’s Feelings

Notes

  • Tuxedo Cat’s father needed a ride to work from me this morning and of course, he seemed just fine on messenger – like nothing happened between us last night
    • later in the day we talked more in-depth about this and I worded the question differently
      • partly because I retook the attachment style assessment quiz earlier in the day and my results showed that I had shifted into a fearful attachment style across the board
        • essentially a scarcity mindset in all my relationships
      • wasn’t asking about his feelings for me or about this relationship, was asking what his purpose/goal is in being in it is
        • in other words, I asked him directly if he was in this to fuck around or if he was in this for the long term
          • he said he wanted to see if this is something that will develop into something serious
            • I’m good with that
            • now mind you if he wasn’t interested in long term I wouldn’t hold it against him, it’s just I wouldn’t let him lock me down
              • want to fuck around? nothing wrong with that so long as I’m free to do the same

    • we watched Tuxedo Cat play basketball as a family
    • he bought fried chicken for me to cook for dinner
    • was a pleasant day of running around overall
  • I did have therapy by myself
    • I’ve come to the realization that becoming my best self currently involves developing an authentic version of what I remember of my inner Aphrodite
      • not the delusion mind you, but the real confidence I had back then
    • also realized that the only way to shift out of the current fearful attachment style I’m in is to start creating abundance in my life
      • doesn’t matter what created this scarcity mindset

      • $30 tobacco supplies
      • $20 bottle of fluid, $10 for the refillable wick & fluid tank cartridge
        • cartridge only needs to be replaced if the wick burns up and that’s only if I don’t pay attention and light it up when the tank is dry

  • he got the loaner car back today
