Tricky business sorting out needs and expectations. Even trickier figuring out where to go from there.
We all feel like little kids sometimes...little kids who need attention.
And sometimes we can't get anyone to pay us the least little bit of attention.
Enter the black ache, which comes from the empty place.
The empty place is where our needs and our expectations come from.
And as long as we look to other people to fill those needs and expectations, we are always vulnerable and open to disappointment.
Someone told me a long time ago that happiness comes from within, not from without. Actually, I think it comes from both places.
But the part that comes from within has to be firmly in place before the part that comes from without can work.
Lots of love and light coming from me to your little kid bikewench.
Another gem from my Alateen sponsor...
