Dear Lindsey:

“The root of everything that I have been feeling the last few days is anxiety“- anxiety is powerful and not in a good way. To function better we have to manage our anxiety, to continually lower it, keep it manageable.

“There is a good chance this guy will not end up being able to meet my emotional needs“-there is a 100% chance that he will not be able to meet all of your emotional needs, not even most. Same is true in my case: no one can meet most or all of my emotional needs. This is the case because I grew up with too much emptiness, for so long.. that the emptiness took hold inside me, and there are too many dreams unlived, too many desires unfulfilled.. for too long.

If a man can meet some of your emotional needs and you can meet some of his and overall it is a Win-Win relationship.. that’s good enough!
