Some days press all your buttons. But, in the words of Nietzsche, “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.”

Tonight I met my favorite comedian, Marc Maron. It was … awkward.
I’ve heard him describe these interactions on his podcast, where he meets a fan and they obviously feel this intense connection to him. They look at him as if they need something, something intense from this interaction. They feel so familiar after listening him for hours and hours. They need him. And he just wants to give them what they need. But of course he can’t.
I am apparently one of those fans.

Trying to be a good partner.
July 5th, 2015
During a day filled with reminders that my current relationships are nothing like my former relationships (including overhearing a woman talk about emotionally abusing her boyfriend while we were at dinner), it’s hard not to engage in unhealthy behavior after having lived the life I have.
I have a tendency to put the people I care most about up on a pedestal. Right now it can be incredibly tempting to do this with my partner. But I know that will just drive a wedge between us.
So I struggle to continue to be present, honest, and engaged.
She’s worth the struggle.
