    I will make this short as possible.

    Do you ever feel like you need someone? Feel that companionship?

    I am 23, and I moved to DC almost a year ago, my family is in California, Manila, and Tokyo. California Native. I am a half Japanese/Filipino American. Moved to DC for worked as a Congressional Intern. Recent graduate applying for Master’s Program and work full time as a medical secretary. I volunteer once a week, and attend church as a new Christian believer, aside from all other things.. there is another part of me.. I am..young, creative, outgoing, full of energy, traveler, thriller-seeker, ..and I think too much..overwhelmed and sleepless.

    Anyways..the other part of me.. I seek too much pleasure..shows, traveling, sex, men, drinking, smoking etc etc.. Besides the point, I have been involved in building a career, and I’d like to go to school to be able to work in Public Health..

    I meet a lot of people… and I have been meeting a friend, who I have been hooking up with once a week for 3 months now…and I am starting to feel so aggravated over the fact that..I cannot establish anything with him. He shows passion only when he wants to have sex. Most of the time, men think of me as a sexual object.

    I am not looking for a boyfriend or whatever, or love..and I have gone through relationships, love, heartbreaks and lust. I just want to see more of this person than seek pleasure out of me…

    I mean.. I just want a companion…and every time I had that, it always seem to dwindle. When I tell a person my goals, they are out of sight, or they are just there for a moment. It’s very difficult to live in a metropolitan city to find real passion in people.. people who are affectionate. And Everyone works hard here and I admire hard work.. but there is no…motion, no warmth. No compassion.

    Sometimes I think…I should just concentrate, yet.. I don’t like the feeling of “stiffness,” I like the feeling of touch, and warmth. Interaction. and then.. maybe it’s best that this individual should act the way he is.. because I will probably be somewhere else, who knows? at a different city, at a university to pursue my degree.

    Sometimes, I think of my goals as too high to reach..that the desire for a companion is out of sight. I don’t know, sometimes I think I am just ranting because I am so tired and aggravated. There is simply nothing wrong with me, I do not ask for that much, but someone who I can just spend time with, and share my experiences with.

    I get stuck with the idea to pursue a Master’s degree, and make a big difference for the nation or leave an impact to the world. and there..I get stuck.. what if..I could never find a companion. what if I get stuck chasing the dream and never settling down? what if..I could never have the ability to meet that companion?

    Again.. I think I am just ranting and obviously tired. Thank you for listening

    Dear lil.lily:

    I read a bit from your previous post of a few months ago about dark energy as well as this one above.I think you are running away from what is inside you. When you wrote: “no… motion, no warmth. No compassion” (in Wash DC) I think there was no warmth or compassion for YOU in the home of your childhood. There was no motion of love into you there. And what you project to Wash DC is what is inside you, loneliness and lack of motion. The interactions you have with the man you meet is the best you (wrongly) think that you can get from a man, just a bit of something, remotely like love. You gave up on the real thing, true love, a long time ago.

    You want to help the world, to save the world, perhaps when the person that needs you help the most, the person needs to be saved is you.

    Correction: You want to help the world; help yourself first. You want to save the world because you need to be saved.

    Do you think that your childhood was lonely, that it was the place where you lost the motion that you need now?

    I’d say take a break from physical relationships . Focus on work and spirituality for a while.

    You say you’re not looking for a relationship yet you wonder why this guy doesn’t seem to be interested in anything more than sex with you. I’m not sure I follow this at all.

    Hello @jack @anita @trianglesun

    Thank you every one for your responses. I know it’s true. I guess I just except so much sometimes with men. Especially the fact that I told myself I was not going to let them in, or let anyone disappoint me. It is true that I should just focus myself.. and I do. I just get caught up with the wanting, and the needing sometimes… and then I remember what my purpose was..and what I need to do to accomplish my goals.

    Dear lil.lilly:

    Have you looked into your childhood home to see what happened to little lil.lilly, what was she thinking, feeling?

    Hello @anita

    Actually, I do look into my childhood a lot, I see the reflection of myself through my past, present, and future. I was very observant when I was a child. I clearly remember a lot of things about my childhood. I am not too sure what you are asking me Anita.

    I know… I have lived a extraordinary life, I had quite a lot of tantrums as a child, but very observant.

    Dear lil.lily:

    I am asking: as a child, did you feel overall liked, approved of, accepted, safe? When you were troubled, did you have a person to reach out to and receive the understanding, empathy and comfort that you needed, on an ongoing, reliable, )yet imperfect) basis?
