Courage, I guess that's what I was trying to say. This whole thing isn't so much about the particular situation as it is about me and my patterns. The reason I brought it here was to try to get some clarity on what to do or maybe think, which in my head always seems to wind around to who or how to be. How do I behave/respond/be, given that the squirrels are running? That activity signals there is something within me that needs examination. In short, yes. Agreed.
Sure, I rolled the idea around in my head - might this guy be a good partner when the time comes? No; I really can't fathom that we'd be romantically compatible. Did I enjoy that exercise? No.
Yeah, rahrah. That AVRT is sound reasoning for a crazy brain. I love the rationality of it. Too bad my addiction is so irrational.
Seriously, though. I'm a big fan of AVRT and AA both. I struggle with the logic (or lack thereof) each of them. But that's why I like them both - is a yin and yang thing.
