the world doesn't need to revolve around me as long as I'm safe. There's a lot of safe and comfortable to be had while not being the best of the best of the best Sir!, the cream that rises to the top especially in schools where dairy product metaphors aren't accurate to lived experience.
the real trick here is actually being able to tell when you're getting enough safe and comfortable, because what you really need is somewhere BETWEEN being safe and comfortable all the time, and whatever horrible mixture of reality and your worst fears is the opposite extreme.
Wooooo okay, this would be a real good time to lie down.
