Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm definitely a better version of me with Tom. I don't know why, but I am.
That's all I have since I am still braindead from jetlag and emotional hangover.

I don't know how much I've changed in my relationship with Will. I know there have been some changes but it hasn't been so much to my core. I don't know how much is being with Will and how much is other changes going on in my life.
Of course we had the added bit of being long distance. But I'm getting better at communicating. I know when we're together I get a bit calmer and less scattered and it's easier just to be... me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't know how much I've changed in my relationship with Will.
You moved to another state in an entirely different part of the country.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You moved to another state in an entirely different part of the country.
That doesn't have to mean she's changed. Just that her circumstances have,
Which isn't to say I don't think you have changed, askye. Just that moving has nothing to do with it.

I did do that, and it's something that I've wanted to do for...well since high school. So he helped me get to that point.
You know, currently with my therapist she's working on helping me see me for who I am now, rather than the person I was.

It's not so much that I've fundamentally changed but I feel like I'm peeling away all this negative layers wrapped around who I "really" am and it's starting to shine through.
Will has been a help in that but someone else might have been too.

In other news I see my new shrink tomorrow. I hope I like him (or her don't remember) things are going well with the new therapist. I might even be open to medication changes. I know moving is HUGE and GIANT but besides that I think I've been in a rut emotionally and I need to change.

Because books.
I'm peeling away all this negative layers wrapped around who I "really" am and it's starting to shine through.
That's such a great feeling.
My point way back was that I don't think the core of you ever really changes. I think I'm the same person childhood formed, all these years later. But I have learned more about who I am, and why I am that way, and I've developed new interests and changed habits and behaviors.
I think that's an essential part of aging, though, relationship of not. And when it comes to relationships, I don't think my quick temper has changed -- but my skill at controlling it has. I still feel the flare of anger, but I don't have to blurt it out anymore. (As one example.)
