I found myself wishing
I could give endlessly
how I deeply desired at one moment to put aside all my needs and try to have “no needs”
I kept reprimanding myself for wanting care, someone’s time or something as simple as a letter. So fragile was my thick wall of “I have no needs” that all it took was a friend kindly saying to me “it is okay to have needs. You should have needs” to tear down that wall.
Everyone needs love and that is undeniable. No amount of “I have no needs” can keep you afloat.

Trying to see myself, even the not so nice parts, and accept them. I want to feel integrated.
I recently came to understand how I had mistreated myself by trying to “ have no needs”/ not be vulnerable.
I hope if anyone feels this way, this might help you. We’re all human beings doing the best we can. Our ugly parts do not define us or our potential to grow and live and love more fully.
You’re not alone; you should express your needs.
