My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

wow...so much affirmation today. thank you all so much.

today was a much better day. I think I knew at the time that I was cycling back thru some grief...and I think I'm on the other side of that little bit.

btw...got this in a note from Texas guy earlier today (no, that's not why I feel better!):
"Interestingly, I think I feel closer and better about where "we" are than ever before. And I don't even know where "we" are! But I have felt great about talking with you, sharing more, and just being a bit more stable since our time together. I've not felt so pressured for or about anything. I feel a closeness and intimacy with you that is wonderful. I don't feel the pressure to create something romantic. I'm at the point right now where some kind of romantic commitment would make me run for the hills. I'm so much less needy now that I can enjoy being with people or I can enjoy being alone. I'm not so needy and am feeling so much better, and you've contributed to that. So perhaps the pulling back that you're feeling is just us establishing some sort of homeostasis without one or the other of us clinging on to the other like we're drowning?
Anyway, you know you can always tell me what you're thinking. You have blessed me more than I have words to express."

that was good to hear. I've been well aware he doesn't feel ready for "something romantic." not with me, not with anyone just yet. that's fine. he's not running from feeling close--and that's a big step.
