Not done anything yet.

It's not about being perfect, it's about being good enough.

[It's absolutely about being perfect.]

Those are different challenges though. Those are things I can think my way through. I can't think my way out of this- thinking only makes it worse.

[lightthedarkness]

Even IF (and that's a VERY big if, Varian) you did, I love you too much to just walk away.

That... I'm afraid is not anything anyone can convince you of, Vivi. I could tell you all of the VERY TRUE amazing things that make you MORE than "good enough." But you have to be the one to see your own value.

Maybe you just need to... rethink it in a different light, then. Turn the idea on it's head, see it in a new way.

[droptheious]

Yeah. You've made THAT much clear already,

[He's not convinced it's the right thing, but he knows he won't change her mind on that.]

Maybe. I don't know how right now. It's just... a lot.

[lightthedarkness]

I'm very stubborn like that.

It is a lot. But you know, you're doing a really great, big step by telling others. Not keeping everything in, letting others help you...

When you let people help you, it feels less "a lot" and more manageable.

[droptheious]

I have noticed.

[He's glad to hear talking about it is the right step. He's been nervous about that, about putting too much on people, he doesn't want to be a burden. ]

I guess so. Everyone has so much to deal with themselves, though.

[lightthedarkness]

Varian, you refuse to let ME use that excuse for even one second. What makes you think I'm going to let YOU use it?

Think about how you feel when I or Fern keep something hurting us to ourselves. It's the same thing.

[droptheious]

[He hates it when she's right and calls him out on his bullshit.]

...

I guess it is. I'm sorry. I guess I'm not so good at taking my own advice.

[At least he's admitting it. Baby steps. ]

[lightthedarkness]

I'm not either. We can work on it, together. You don't have to do any of this alone, okay?

[droptheious]

I know. Thank you, Usgai. You don't either, not ever.

[lightthedarkness]

Well, that's what family does, Varian.
