A Look Back: the beginning of our relationship

Hi Angel,

Just checking in after a long week. It's weird, Angel, but I feel like I've known you all my life. We really do seem to have the same personalities. I have definitely been looking for love and acceptance and validation that I'm special for as long as I can remember. I usually trace it back to losing my mother when I was 10, but there are so many more issues that go along with it. I look forward to you feeling comfortable and telling me a little about your history, I am very eager to learn what has happened in your life to take you to this point, and I want to compare it to what's happened to me to lead me to where I am.

This is the point where I leave my phone number and tell you to call me when you have time to talk, but I always get nervous for no good reason. Probably that acceptance thing--because if you call and I'm too nervous to have a good conversation, then I will feel bad, like I let you down. But that's silly, because that presumes that I have to perform well and have the greatest conversation in history in order to impress you, and you haven't done anything to indicate that I have to do that...anyway I'm blabbing again, so if you want to call me sometime, my home number is (555) 555-5555.
