    Oh hey, it’s that thing from my last therapy session that hit me like a fucking train because the therapist pointed out correctly that I never grew up feeling this, which is something I’ve never truly acknowledged.

    Like I get it logically, but rarely have actually felt it.

    Thanks for the reminder friendo.

      It’s probably like with freedom and such. A good which presence sheds not nearly as much joy as its absence cause pain.

      I’m privileged in all aspects of life, but still rarely see it because it’s always there. I constantly have to remind me that I am, and that all privileges are ephemeral and to be enjoyed daily.

      Especially things you can’t control, like being truly loved by someone or by more.
