![The reason I [Santosh] want to have this blog [santoshsingh.net] is to make a home for whatever I would like to share](https://wants.blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2eb7fb3e-1c3f-4d2c-aba2-a90504c429b0_1_105_c-blackwhite-e1738678149519.jpeg?w=700)
Keywords: Personal
The other reason is to have this blog as a medium to connect with other like-minded people. As an introvert, it is difficult to have a conversation with strangers. The blog is an easy way to connect with others without the usual pain of facing them in person.

I need to examine the needs I am getting met through the relationship. I like feeling like I am useful and important. I like when clients feel heard, seen, and unique. I also have to be real. I see 30 people a week, and if I’m somehow communicating something less that that, there’s a good chance I’m getting my own needs to be valued met through my therapeutic relationships and that is unsustainable. I think it starts to hurt me in a way, and when I notice that I need to take a step back and reassess. Frankly, when I allow that to continue, it ultimately hurts the client.

Sometimes I feel lost, sometimes I feel I am not fit for this role, but at all times.. I know i love my daughter so much that i want to protect her from everything bad in this world. Even if I am tired, i want to be the first one to be there when she needs something. I want her to need me for everything. Maybe that’s selfish but thats how it is.

I’m trying to live with fewer regrets so renting a cottage filled this void. Something I had never done before so try it. There is nothing to lose. Well, I had a relaxing week of reading, painting, sitting on the deck doing nothing and walking the beach. I enjoyed it. I needed it. This was not what I was expecting but hello what I needed.

I became very wealthy later on in life, but my roots in Oakland taught me many things I’ve never forgotten — (one thing is) that the purpose of wealth is to help those in need … that’s what it’s for! And I want to bring back — I want to bring that back to politics too — that is the purpose of privilege.

I’m so hard on myself. Maybe that’s my biggest issue. I only point out all that I and others lack. What could be better. Instead of appreciating what is already. I love myself. I love you. I love how you are always trying to make me feel good. Taking care of my every need. Protecting me from me. Nourishing me body and soul.

Even though my family is small, we are happy. We always talk, especially when they are not working. Watching television and karaoke .My parents take good care of me, they listen to my problems especially when I need to talk.

How much money is enough to help me have a good life without getting to the point where I am always concerned with money? What does a fulfilling career even mean? Does that mean I work for a non-profit? Do I open my own business? What is fulfillment. Why do I want to travel? Is it to show pictures to everyone else to show how cool I am? Or is it for my own experience.

For years I had disconnected myself from my own needs. I had found that ignoring them was a survival strategy, experience had taught me that I was safer that way. This wasn’t a sustainable approach. I’d become so good at hiding and ignoring my needs that I spent years going through life numb to the good experiences I should have been having. All my actions were routed in expectations and obligations. When that got too much for me I turned to food, drink and drugs to fuel actions. It was ok that I needed to spend the day in bed, it was a hangover rather than depression caused by my unhealed trauma. It’s fine that I drank before I went out, that was me being savvy with money as I wouldn’t spend so much at the club. My binge eating was tied to the days when I was suffering malnutrition from before my adoption (I don’t recall that, I think I may have made it up. I recall walking to collect water with a container on my head as part of my chores, but never hunger…) and the list of justified negative behaviour that sustained the numbing of my emotions is endless. This was never sustainable, and that’s a good thing.
