if you catch yourself begging someone for... human decency?? a response? time together ? clarity? respect? compassion? or even some kindness? you need to take a step back and realize that you’re begging someone for the bare minimum. and that’s ridiculous.
if someone I care about asks me for reassurance, I will never put them in a position where they think it’s a burden each time they ask, or feel as though they need to apologise for requesting it. that is the bare minimum I can do.
