i have been reminded yet again why i am so lucky to have such an amazing person in my life, this time, though, by someone else...
after having an extremely stressful few days, i took the opportunity to visit jill while phil and i were in syracuse. and jill did exactly what i needed her to do-- she put my mind at ease. but she also said that despite the stress, i looked very happy. and i explained. and then she said that i was very lucky to have found someone who allowed me to be myself-- even if that self occasionally has uncontrollable panic attacks.
she's absolutely right. yes, he does try to calm me down when i need it. but he also just sits there with me and lets me cry when i need that too. sure, i may not deal with stress well, but it's who i am. and i can be who i am when i'm with him. no matter if i'm calm or ridiculously freaking out. i am extremely lucky to have him happily tolerate me.
