Sometimes you just want to feel a little special...

Just a bit seen. A small gesture. A touch. A smile. Eyes that look at you like you're still meaningful.

Maybe it's just my ego dangling by a thread. Maybe a feminine want holding on after always being the weird girl/woman.

At least within the emptiness there's room to shine and dance. At least my imagination and curiosity do not fail. I'd rather live in the artistic torment of the love I never received, than in dreams that never came true 🖤

I think those desires are just hardwired in us, and those who never quite find them see more in others as a result. You can see in them what you wish someone would see in you…the delight in complexity, joy of uniqueness, an appreciation for passion even if you don’t share a passion for what ignites them. It’s like being given a gift that never quite feels like yours, I think. I’m glad you’ve come to the place where you can turn your eyes on yourself and see what others should and know it has value. It helps you not settle for the torment of less than for very long. You are special. 🤗

There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel special to someone...I think wanting to feel loved on is a basic human need

@cherny I'll be 42 tomorrow, it isn't gonna get any better 😂

Who knows.. I think I'm just trying to spare myself from believing in joy that never comes.

@EldritchFox Never stop believing. When you do, you may miss the opportunity you were looking for.
