Hi guys,
Just a quick little observation. Last night my boyfriend and I were on the phone, and we got to talking about The Relationship and all that stuff, nothing too serious, but it stirred up some old insecurities for me. (Sometimes I worry that I'm boring.) Anyway, my eyes filled with tears, but I really wasn't in the mood to start sobbing or anything, it's just so much WORK to cry like that. So I worked very hard to keep my voice steady and breathed deeply, I let 10 or 12 tears out over about 10 minutes. My bf knows me really well, of course, so it wasn't like I was hiding anything from him, I was just trying to stay calm. He asked me to tell him all my worries so he could carry them (such a sweetie), so I took a lot of breaths and spoke slowly. I didn't break down, but my voice definitely sounded strained and wobbly.
I'm not sure I got it all out, though, so I might have more stories soon!
