stupid cats are valid

cats who aren’t graceful and thud to the ground like a bag of rocks are VALID

cats who run around the room and ram into the door are VALID

cats who get their claws stuck in things and meow at you to help them are VALID

something my therapist said to me in our session today is really present in my thoughts:

it’s really easy to shower your loved ones with care, gifts, and other expressions of love. when you close yourself off from receiving the same gifts, aren’t you denying the people you love the opportunity to love you?

that’s really got me thinking. i have a tendency to give a lot to the people i love in the hopes that i can make them happy in some way , but i won’t allow them to give me anything because i don’t want to feel like a burden or like people are going out of their way to do good things for me. i can imagine that if the people that i loved didn’t accept my love and gifts i would be so sad and miserable, so is it in the best interest of my loved ones to let them love me in return? 

Tldr: Your vulnerability is not a burden, it is an opportunity for people to love you and return the happiness you give them
