And by other people I mean a significant other. Someone that you like. Someone who has the potential to take you away from me. A thought that used to terrify me. But I've learned that just because you go with someone else doesn't mean that I'm going to lose you. It doesn't mean that you love me less when you hang out with someone you like and it doesn't mean that you won't come back in some sense. I may be losing some of my time with you. But I have lots to spare.
I've also reached a time in my life when I can hang out with other people and not feel lost. These people also have an abundance of time with you. It's okay to do your own thing every now and then. I have people that I want to spend time with and who I can do things with. People that will fill the temporary void. As long as I know your safe I'm okay. This might mean that I'll text you after you've been gone for 5 hours and I haven't heard from you. I'm sorry that's not normal, but that is who I am. I need to make sure that everything is alright. Then we can both continue on with our activities.
So it's alright for you to do things with other people. They mean a lot to you. And no one should take that away. There are 7 days in a week. I think it's okay to split up your time accordingly. And you don't have to give more than you want to, but don't be afraid that by giving more of yourself to someone else that you are taking it away from the people who already suck up all of you. Because you aren't. Just open your heart up and let everyone in. You have a big enough heart to do that. I promise you there is enough of you to go around despite your recent weight loss. I know this is scary, but you can handle it.
