Yesterday

Yesterday, ho hum.

Went to work, and then picked up my baby boy from the sitter.

Wandered up to my parents
Mom made me a delicious grilled cheese.
I headed down to therapy after that.
Very sad because I am trying
to learn
to love myself.

I want to cry about it but I can’t.
Sometimes my throat is so tight
I feel like I’m choking.

I came home
and
threw myself into Brandon’s arms.

We lied together on the bed; I snuggled in the crook of his arm
he lazily
tickled circles on my back.

And I realized that
this was the first time
in a long time
that I have felt
completely ohso completely
Safe.

I kissed him, I thanked him
for loving me.

Because if he can,
perhaps
I can, too.

Then Whit and I
went on
a walk with Lil C
in the stroller.

We talked about things
we only tell each other.

We watched Lil C play
on the playground
and were
joyful
Because his was infectious.

And I felt a little better.

I came home and
needed more hugs from Brandon.

To feel alive
and safe.

And then I fell asleep.
I was calm.

I think that you are LUCKY sometimes that you are sensitive. Its so much better than the alternative. And you married a sensitive man. So much better than the alternative.

Oh, and fyi that dietitian I was telling you about isn't at the same clinic as MB anymore, I think she started her own thing and I can send you her website if you want.
