I didn't get upset about not being able to go swimming [my own fault, I know] and I organised something else for us to do instead :D

I'm proud of myself today because even though I was feeling a bit down I didn't pull any manipulative crap on my boyfriend I just told him how I was feeling and what I needed. And although I did feel the separation anxiety when I left his place, I didn't let it overwhelm me.

I rode on the road that terrifies me and I even managed to do a bit of filtering!
"She would never know, because he would never tell her. Somehow if she’d known the worst parts, she couldn’t have gone on being a haven for him… He needed her ignorance to hide in. Yet at the same time, he wanted to know and be known as deeply as possible. And the two desires were irreconcilable"
