im making memories

[polaroidahoid]

i used to write as a sense of community. I used to care about people reading my entries and responding..showing me that soemone in the world cares a little bit about the thing i write...now i use lj as a form of looking back, as a form of creating memories for me to look back on

In "Intimacy and Solitude", Stephanie Dowrick writes:

"No matter how difficult it may be, it is infinitely more vitalizing to attempt to develop in yourself the qualities you need in other people.

Even partial success will mean you are taking responsibility for your own self, and gaining greater knowledge of your own self. It will also mean you can approach others on steady feet, rather than as someone lurching towards the crutch held out by a potential or actual 'other half'."

And people will like you more if you are genuinely interested, not just interesting. (This has really helped me deal with similar stuff you are describing. Hope this helps you.)

Part of having people love & care for you is for you to ALLOW them to love and care for you. Nothing is ever one sided n a relationship.
