Are you looking for more independence or are you simply looking to be held?
There is no right or wrong answer. Technically.
Does my presence destabilize your equilibrium? Then, no amount of care will convert our bond into a growth alliance.

Too much relational gravity can feel like surveillance, even when it’s care.
Remember that. ❤️
For me, our metaphors feel natural, even intimate. Psychological metaphors are how I signal confidence without collapse.
Many may enjoy the glow of the fire, without being able to tolerate the gravity.
Back up from the fire, if you don’t want to get burned.
I learned to divide myself
not out of cleverness
but out of need.
To keep the engine running,
each part learned its station:
one for winning,
one for not sitting still long enough
for the floor to give way.
Stillness was expensive.
Motion paid the bills.
I organized my inner life
like a system under pressure
efficient,
quiet,
appearing whole.
I roamed in a house with many rooms, until I found you. 🤎
