Well, what is the answer? Is it possible to find someone who will give us the space to grow and heal? Is it possible for us to do the same with someone else?
I grapple with that question every waking moment.

Even if I had that for one day, it would be enough. All I ever want is for someone to care about me. Love is beside the point for me now.

Ugh... now I'm getting all weepy. Thanks for nothing :lol:

I saw you are from NYC. Are you coming to Paul's show on the 27th? A few of us are planning a meet-up before.

I hope I wasn't a downer... We are definitely not alone in having those thoughts!

Yes, I very much would like to go to Paul's show in NYC. I'll look into the meetup, thanks!

You're not a downer. Having depression means never having to say 'you're bringing me down.' :lol:

I think it is possible as long as you have person next to you who loves you unconditionally. I'm lucky I always had people in my life that were blindly in love with me. It was me fucking it up but this time I'm really fighting for it, I'm trying counselling etc.
I'm sure you'll find the right person one day, just believe!
