Lots of nourishing conversation and tea, people smiling when they see me. Most of all, I want loyalty and people I enjoy, who listen! Treasures, kindness, affection, thoughtfulness, and smiling.

I would like to be loved. My love language is words of affirmation, so I would like to be told that I am loved and seen for who I really am. I would like for people not to criticize me because it really hurts.

I would like for my mother to listen and sympathize when I'm upset and crying WITHOUT trying to fix everything or inserting her suggestion that I need to go to the doctor and get on antidepressants.

I get up every day, put on my armor and go try to fight the good fight from inside of corporate America. When I come home, I want my husband to give me a space in which I am safe, protected, soft and coddled. This relationship and home is my place to be emotionally naked.
