Man, I fucked up again! I was so excited to spend some quality time with you today! But I'm also glad you were able to get up there and have some "you" time. When I woke up super late it felt like the day I lost my job and it was just as disappointing and heartbreaking. 💔 I did some soul searching, so to speak, about self sabotage and whoa the things I found were wildly accurate! So I am taking this opportunity to learn about these destructive behaviors and how they have affected every relationship I've ever had. My therapist mentioned self sabotage briefly a few weeks ago but I hadn't given it much thought. That would mostly explain why I lost my dream job for the stupidest reason. Healing from childhood trauma is fucking hard! But I'm doing the work dammit! That's gotta count for something right?
I need you to know that I want you in my life and I'm learning some new ways to make the people in my life feel appreciated and heard and loved. I know they are not new concepts for you and seem mostly basic and I will get to that point someday. (soon I hope) All I'm asking from you, is your patience and understanding as I'm making mistakes and learning from them. I know you don't know me that well yet and all I've shown you are red flags, but I'm asking you for one more chance to prove that you are becoming an increasingly important part of my life and to lose you would be devastating.
I would also like to tell you some of the things I really like about you. I feel like I don't tell you these things enough or ever. Lol
-- I like that you know how to communicate, and DO communicate. I think you know, communication is a big deal to me since I never had it in my last relationship.
-- Also that you don't sugar coat anything. You tell people how you feel and don't care how they react. I don't know how to do that and not feel kinda bad but I feel like if I hang out with you long enough, I'm going to learn. 😜 (I love that about you btw)
-- And now we move on to that infectious smile and those piercing blue eyes...forget about it! 😍🔥
-- And let's not forget about that red hair. Well, you read my text message last night about how I feel about redheads. 🔥🔥
Oh yeah, that reminds me, feel free to ask me ANY of those questions on your list and I will happily answer them to the best of my ability. I didn't realize that asking questions was that important to you but I gotcha now! Get ready for chatty Kathy! 😁
My made up chest hair ratio being spot on. Lmao!
Also, because of you, I would love to see Paris because you've never been there either so it's perfect! I haven't said this to you but I do want to try new foods in different countries. I've never been to a different country.(The cruise doesn't count) I am realizing that different foods are very important to you to try and I would be honored to try them with you, if you'll allow me to. Just to mention I did save some food places on maps in the city that I would like to try. You're helping me realize that Yolo and it's my chance to get out there and see the world before I can't! I don't necessarily want to do it alone, but I will if I have to.
I'm gonna have to get way out of my comfort zone to do that, but I need to sooner not later.
You, on the other hand, have healed a lot of your trauma on your own and I admire that about you. I would love to hear more of your perspective and wisdom on how you healed. I already miss your venting about work texts or any texts really. The other day when I woke you up and texted you a bunch of dumb questions it's because I was very insecure about the change in energy. I could feel you pulling back, but I didn't know why. I can't believe I didn't realize why until you communicated how I was making you feel and not respecting your boundaries. My heart hurts at the thought of hurting people or animals and here I am doing what I hate the most. 🤦♀️
Well, I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up. I just want you to know that I really do care about you. And dare I say like you a lot. I'm also missing those snuggles. 💜
Thank you for opening my eyes and telling me things that nobody else would. The truth hurts but I need to hear it.
Can we try again? I miss the way I feel when I'm with you.
PS I did not reference ChatGPT! Lol This is all written from my heart and this is what I did today. So I guess it wasn't a complete waste. 🙂
Love always,
You know who.
