Late Night Introspecting 

I have to wait for my pants (ugh, why do I still have to wear pants) to get out of the dryer, so....thoughts.

Something that I have needed to be told pretty consistently of late: "we want you around. Your presence is valued." I'm not sure why this never seems to sink in for me right now. Is it because I am having to learn how to do something I am historically bad at (asking for my needs)?

@KoBunny OMG so okay, when I say "it is always lovely to see you" I mean that SO MUCH for like YOU IN PARTICULAR. I never get to see you enough and that's why I just drop by the store sometimes because you're greeeat and I like having you arouuuund.

@indi The number of times @literorrery has said something similar to that, and @ElectricKeet has seconded her is past the number I can count on two paws (even when I have fingers). And it still brings me to near tears to hear it.

And thank you, Indi, for saying that. Pardon me while I flail a little bit and hug a nearby plush and such. I guess maybe I'm just not used to being complimented? =>.>'=

@KoBunny Sadly I know a lot of folks who feel that way. I think the best cure is exposure therapy. So you will be getting more complements. And, I hope, more time around me, if we can manage it. 💜

@indi I would like that, quite a lot. You are a good yote-plush and are very nice to hug on. <3
