anger and self responsibility
I was given the conundrum in my mind about how I should commit to my relationships in life. Wholeheartedly I mean - be solid - and so on. in life. I was tired on the drive home and weird thoughts like this came as a criticism for how to be at a moment when I was unsure who could hold my heart and woe as I made the long journey home from work. I realized I wanted to have some fun and so allowing for some fun in friendships and relationships is what I concluded - I felt it must have made me seem insincere - but here's to trying it out - ? I have no idea, I ought not be so hard on myself. I then came home and felt a sense of anger about me - a sense of rage in fact - I felt the need to negotiate life in terms of staying in my own lane - and yet that also brought about the ego in me - and it's outrageousness and insatiability - seemingly -the anger seemed to be self reinforcing - feeding on it- and so I knew I had to stay in my own lane - be self responsible so to speak even still- but even still - I felt a sense of failure about it - missing a kind of honor and decency - but then I thought that with any anger I might have - I am also needing to be self responsible about it - like we all do- so that I know it's just a funky f-ed up side effect of being human - and not to give it too much power - but to also know that it is invariably a part of the human experience. I feel better now - still feel the anger simmering beneath the surface - but I think it might be in part from the sugar I ate - as well - I have a trip coming up - that I have to find a ride for - I think I might just drive myself and park long term. (4 days). Things are ok. I can't wait to get there. :)

I think in part this intense commitment structure I feel I must have is maybe me comparing my insides to others outsides?
Today’s emotions really messed with my sense of core relationships and it derailed me from tending to them. It also had me recognize that we’re each inviting each other into our respective worlds when we meet for the first time like at my haircut today. Guys at the barber looked a little judgy at me but I was determined to keep to my own lane and life!
I guess what I wanted to say in the last comment is that there's a regard for each other in terms of the temperature etc. that
you and the other are dealing with in the face of the unknown new.
I also want to say in terms of core relationships is that I am really starting to see mine and appreciate mine....In a fuller sense.
My core reality and whom I look to for a grounding in life.
