needs and needing

Life is about getting your needs met. That can be complex.

For me, i struggled with the extrovert nature i have - i thought at first it meant I was outgoing, a leader, mr popularity (and I can be that.) But it also means I draw my energy and motivation from being part of a community - whether it was PMAG, AIDSmarathon or the innumberable organizations I've been a part of over time. I suspect since we are so alike, this may be the case for you.

Yes, your problems are your problems, and it is good that you own them; but you might not benefit from stewing in solitude. Maybe its time to reach out - not for long therapy sessions - but company. Sometimes, in the background, these knots loosen and you find your way.

The only way out is through - but you can't move if your weighed down by frustration and sadness - maybe your motivation and sense of direction will be clearer if you are active and drawing energy and motivation from your best sources.
