Deep Breath
I just wrote an amazingly long email to SuperAdvisor. We haven't caught up for a while and he wanted to know how I was doing academically and personally.
...so I told him. I took the opportunity to tell him about the reflecting that I've been doing lately - which I will post here in the near future - and to let him glimpse just how insecure I am. It's kind of important to me that he knows this stuff; if I know that he knows where my fears, concerns, and worries are coming from I can then take the time to GET OVER IT rather than worry about being "found out".
Besides, it was sort of my turn to expose my squishiest core. He shared some of his own personal reflections a while back and has subsequently redefined a few things for himself. I'm hoping that I'll follow the same pattern.
I'm ending this post abruptly because I'm emotionally tired from composing the email, physically tired from working far more hours in a row than I am accustomed to, and Storm needs to be fed.
