Feb. 2nd, 2017 05:52 pmBy request, here's a picture of the shirt I mentioned with NYC train lines on it! It's just Manhattan, but that's where I spent most of the brief periods I was in the city. Makes me miss the place.
Danae has begun seeing a therapist, hoping to work through some really difficult stuff that's been affecting her life for over a decade. She asked me to go through her LJ from around that time and find some writing that would be a good place for the therapist to start in understanding it all. She started looking at them herself, but it's really hard for her. I'm really glad that I've been doing so well in the past week; she had a couple of days where I comforted her through bouts of tears. We're both pretty broken in our own ways, she and I.
They are our own ways, but they are also oddly similar ones in some respects. After a few hours of reading, I understand more thoroughly than I did the situation she was in. While our mutual issues have often not played well together, I also feel very strongly that they can contribute to a deep understanding of each other, and may make us really well suited to help each other process and overcome then. She's been supportive to an awe-inspiring extent to me, and I hope that me being so for her will help her pursue the life she wants. I hope both of us will be able to do that, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner; we've both been waiting for parts of that life for a very long time.
