Today I woke up and realized that its really hard to share your guts with others and that maybe instead of food I need a big hug from my friends. I used to think (and sometimes wish) that I didn't need anybody ever. That I could do it all by myself and that I wouldn't have to depend on fallible people to do for me what I could do for myself. This seems to be breaking down as I am realizing that I do need help sometimes. I need kindness, care, truth like everybody else. I need people to love me and support me and offer me a place to be myself. I will try to stay alive to this truth today and to reach out to some of my friends who are near me during the week.

Thanks to all of you for letting me process and lending me support and wisdom! :0)
