I just - think my friend must be ADORABLE but dunno how to say that without sounding odd. Also just to up and go ‘I literally love you’ sometimes because it just HITS me, you know?

Sometimes I yearn. Pretty often. Now is that time too.

Tenderness

You are not afraid of the sufferings and sorrows of other people, even when they are acted out in unappealing ways. Beneath even defensiveness and self-righteous behavior, you know that deep down people need nurturing and consolation. One danger is being naive about people’s dark sides. But at your best, you know you can be mean yourself, which helps you to sympathize. You bring strength and forgiveness where other people might panic.

Reverence

One part of your dreams of giving yourself up – perhaps just for a while – to a hero or mentor. In the right circumstances, you can flourish by letting go of your ego. In your inner life, reverence plays out as a willing submission to your own conscience. In the outside world, you might get frustrated searching for something worth believing in – a country, a person, a company – but you will always be open to feeling respect, admiration, and wonder.

Independence

You don’t set out to be different for its own sake; you are more easily guided by what interests and moves you. You are more concerned about what is right for you than about the pressure to fit in. In sex, you are more aware than others of impulses which are not entirely conventional. You know the value of selective irresponsibility, of forgetting occasionally about being ‘good’.

Have you ever tried to feel a feeling, just out of habit? A feeling that's always been there to a fault, but then one day it's just gone? I tried to get angry tonight, and it just didn't work. Usually it's always there, ready to be built upon. The kind of palpable emotion that gives you a rush, a fire in your belly and a clear mind. Making you ready to face any foe and cut a bitch just by blinking! But tonight that feeling just flopped, went derp and fell into a warm fuzzy pool in my stomach. It fell short and I felt shallow and embarrassed for trying to pick a fight. A fight that I wanted but didn't feel. I'm glad it flopped. And I'm sorry I wanted to fight.
