While spending the week with Lux, I felt a massive recharge in a ton of ways. Being social helped, and away from the house, and getting to touch on a bunch of projects, as well as helping Lux out around the apartment and all.
But, the biggest of all was just little gestures from other people. And it didn't really matter who. Just little unprompted things outside of the routine.
While at Shelter, Blue would occasionally give me hugs when he walked past, and even though I was a bit worn down from the day, and awkward as hell from not knowing many people, it made me feel a lot better than I was able to express.
Then going back north, and over the course of the week, Lux was significantly more affectionate than normal, and even the smallest things made me feel better for a day or afterward.
It goes to show how little I actually need at this point to feel affirmed, and that I've apparently been starved for affection with everything happening lately.
But in the meantime, I will be enjoying what came of the last week, and running with that.
