And then how many of us are walking around and not feeling like anyone is rooting for us or that we're needed or that we're valued? Maybe we feel like, outliers. Maybe we feel like we're constantly running into conflict with our ideas, our existence, our thoughts, whatever the case may be, and just how good does it feel to just have a random stranger put up a post saying, I'm rooting for you?

But in doing so, sometimes the parents can be lonely because the kid is self sufficient. And it's not to say I'm successfully self sufficient. But I'm naturally self sufficient to where I made my own Turkey instead of going to my mom's place to eat her food because I just didn't want to go through the trouble of getting rides to go there. Now that's kind of f***** up, and I didn't even really call either
Thank you, PK, for that wonderful. Monday morning, Monday night. Swell. We need you. It really brought to my mind the song song song by Hezekiah Walker that says, I need you to survive. And part of the lyrics indicate that it says, I won't harm you with words from my mouth. I love you. I need you to survive. The idea of affirming someone is so powerful and our words can either make that happen or not make that happen

So thank you for reminding me of that amazing song. That song got me through so many things. And thank you for responding to the swell and just adding to the conversation, catching the swell verse

You're doing it for you. You're doing it for the universe. God, whatever it is that you need to get out or you want to get out. And then maybe crickets. And that's okay. Like, fundamentally, we know this in our mind. It's okay. But there is a moment. There's a moment when you have a little feeling you're like, but then you have to go back to yourself, which you do, right?
