Wow, thanks Starsky, I wish I could say I came across that realization easily, but unfortunately not mad

I also wish I could say I've figured out how to walk that line -- I'm getting there. Like Denver, I was too far on the strong and independent side, and then after the bomb swung too far on the warm and fuzzy side. I do feel like I'm centering in on it, and the closer I get the better I feel.

Denver,

When has the key ever been anything different?

Sometimes you still make me...sigh... smile

Oh, I didn't figure it out either. Hardly. smirk

Accuray...

Right on...

I think an important thing to remember to is that we own our own part.


like...
I can't expect Cori to make me feel beautiful and worthwhile and happy etc
I need to feel those things on my own 1st

his job is then to REMIND me that I feel this way

a sappy guy can't do that because he is too needy himself
a super independent detached guy can't do that because he doesn't think I "need to be reminded

(and vice versa of course)
