When I grew a clue about my desires, I quickly realized how hidden they were. While I could engage some, e.g. the desire to travel, call a friend, ask for a hug, or sexual desires, there were a vast many I was scared to reveal.

When I finally learned the length and depth of my desires (which continue to unfold), I felt scared and confused as to why my desires mattered.

In relationship, if you're relying on the other to feel good, then you're off to a bad start.

Don't make the world or another responsible. Rather, fall in love with your own sense of self responsibility!
