Doesn’t it suck to have good friends that hold you accountable for the things you say? Even though sharing my thoughts and feelings is scary, I really love the process of writing and making a habit of doing it.

Obviously not just for the sake of it but strategically and intentionally when appropriate so I can challenge myself and grow. I want to work on being vulnerable and not so guarded.

I learned how to communicate what I want and what I need, and did not let my fear of rejection / failure conceal such vulnerability and honesty. This applies to both professional and personal relationships: from advocating for PhD stipend rise that had been stagnant for 6 years in my capacity as PhD co-representative with my friend Keel in front of PhD Committee and Dean of Finance as we presented our findings of the survey we conducted among PhD students (we got a 40% raise August 2022 onwards that we now live above Washington DC poverty line, wohoo!), negotiating my hourly wage and daily rate as a Teaching Assistant and Research Consultant respectively, to telling a guy I was dating that I needed to feel connected with him through consistent communication even just a good-night text per day as the bare minimum.

I want to be with people who trust one another. I want to be with people who aren’t trying to put up a facade.

I want to be someone who loves unconditionally. But, I realized I do have a condition that keeps me from loving people that way: and it’s my desire to be appreciated, rather than merely tolerated.

That’s why I don’t know what I want to study, I’m scared of having to [choose] because that means that I won’t be in high school any longer I won’t be living at my parents’ every single day of the year.

I thought for sure I’d receive negative comments along the way or people would make fun of me – after all it’s kind of a vulnerable thing putting yourself out there like that – but I SO wish I could tell myself to start sooner than I did.

I fear that I’ll never find that soulmate and have another family. I’ve always gravitated toward people who have maternal traits or who possess a comforting and guiding trait. I fear to never allow someone in my life who would see that I am full of love and I can give back. I fear that my past limits my future. I fear that I cannot be transparent about the obstacles in my life that have shaped who I am today. I fear that I will not have an impact on people. I fear that I will never want to show love and accept love because of simply it not working out. I fear having expectations because I have continuously been dissapointed. I wonder if hope and prayer is just this false illusion that comforts us in the moments of despair and hopelessness. I’ve always referred to myself as a meandering lost soul. I continue to search for what my passion and drive is, but not certain of how to apply it to make me successful.

My emotional unavailability is due to me feeling like I have to control how relationships play out. It took me a while to realize that I was seeking validation from the connection more than anything.
