You’re not needy. You’re starving. You certainly do not want for too much. These things you crave are all entirely normal, natural, its-your-birth-right, your-parents-probably-didn’t-give-you-enough things. So you’re starving. That’s okay. You can begin there. Begin bit by bit, or bite by bite. Begin by renaming this ‘neediness’ with a more accurate term: hunger. Begin by asking for what you want. Begin by honoring your hunger. By feeding yourself. Begin by receiving the cravings with kindness, instead of shame. This hunger of yours. It’s so wise. You’re not needy. You’re simply starving.

I read an excellent quote on here a few days ago that encouraged people to realize not all relationships are healthy and some friendship just aren’t worth it. I wish to God someone had told me this in high school, but it took me through second semester of my freshmen year in college to figure this out. I reevaluated my life. Why do I make time for people who don’t make time for me? Why do I put in so much effort for people who don’t put in as much effort to see me? 

I guess this became all the more clear when I spoke to a good friend and told him, “It’s not that I like you guys less, I still like you guys the most, but you guys just don’t put in the same effort that I do and I’m tired of that.” or something along those lines. I feel like I’m in a really good place right now and can distinguish between healthy and toxic relationships. Why surround yourself with people who don’t make you feel good about yourself? Love yourself by choosing friends that are good for you. 

And I guess it’s worked out, because I’ve been on summer break for a month and it’s been great and I don’t even mind that I’m starting summer school in a few days, because I’ll still be around great people. It’s been an incredible summer thus far with incredible, amazing people and I can’t wait for the next two months back in Berkeley.
