i've been on my own for long enough (maybe you can show me how to love)

Appreciations today:

Trav (journalling at captain_chrome now) and I are doing better. I think it's because I opened up and told him how scared I was of everything that was happening. It really helps that I feel more like myself, and it's interesting how I didn't even really notice that I didn't feel like myself or act normally until my energy started coming back.

Sasha (my girlfriend of 4 years) recently started dating Trav, and I'm delighted to see them really enjoy each other. Trav may start grocery shopping for Sasha's household to lower the risk, which is just another damn sign of how goodhearted he is. I'm crazy about both of them and I'm so lucky we're all in this together, no matter the speedbumps.

Trav set up this amazing roleplaying game and found us a dungeon master! Now the three of us (Sasha, Travis and I) will get to hang out with Trav's friend and his son, building a story and playing a game together, on Sundays for the foreseeable future.

I appreciate how hard Trav's been working to take care of me. It's been very hard for me to relax and let myself be taken care of, but he's endlessly patient with me which makes him stellar.

Teyla continues to be a beauty and joy forever. The nice thing about staying home all the time is it makes her SO FREAKING HAPPY. She loves having her pack around all the time.

I'm really glad to see you feeling better. And I'm not sure if I said this before or not, but I super appreciated you opening up about being afraid; not doing so was only making things worse for both of us, but I know it wasn't easy for you to talk about it.
