Me-usings and Me-emories

8 May 2022 - You haven't forgotten me, have you?  I blame my insecurities on my starting life without a family.  Deep down I feel unwanted, despite copious evidence to the contrary.  All these present-day belly rubs and head pats and ear scratching are very soothing to my ragged psyche, but the damage was done long ago and will remain with me.  Over time and in a sustaining environment, I should become more comfortable in my skin, perhaps even find a calmness from which to view the world.  How different the outcome if I'd believed, in those early years, that I was the center of the universe.
