The more time you have lived, the less the time you are living seems in comparison. But it is the same amount of time!

Scarlet, I think the blanket is such a wonderful thing, especially if you have told L, but even otherwise. It sounds both like something you are processing with the situation as well as your therapy, while putting it into art in some way. I think it's great!

Me myself, just had my last "first teaching experience lesson" (while already teaching, job world is funny), now I'm anxiously waiting for partner to get up. He for some reason lost it again tonight while nothing at all happened plus two sleepy sentences exchanged in the morning. While I don't think he's practically wrong about any of his issues, I don't have the energy to deal with it anymore... however, he's of course hyperfocused on me not leaving him. Kind of sucks.
