Apparently,
tafkar was hanging out in my head today. Some resolutions were listed in her journal that have been things I've been working on for a very long time (often, successfully. Not quite always, yet). I've snagged a few that are appropriate for me, with modifications as necessary.
Resolution the first:I will trust that my lovers actually love me.
What this means is that I will stop being afraid that if I say that I need something, or say that I am not capable of doing something they want, I will NOT be afraid that love will be taken away. If the people who love me were looking for perfecttion, they wouldn't love me in the first place.
Yeah. Quite. This is possibly my biggest problem in relationships of all types.Resolution the secondI will stop looking for subtext
I'm mostly over this. Mostly. But there are certainly times where I find myself second guessing my interpretation of something someone I care about said. Even though accepting what was said without subtext is easier on me (way less processing), something I'm pretty clear on needing (I'm *bad* with subtext), and something I really ought to be willing to believe that I will be given.
