Hey. I know what you’re feeling right now. You think that you’ve messed up. That he’s upset, mad, or hurt, and that he’s ignoring you. And that sucks because you think that means you’re not enough, unlovable, and a bad person. Well guess what. You’re wrong. I’m sorry, but it’s true. I know what you’re thinking. That this time is different, that there is actually a problem, that he is actually upset and you have no idea what you should do to fix it. That makes sense. You’ve been through a lot, even together, and you have every reason to think that way. You are trying to protect yourself. Brian, you are trying to protect Mason, and I really appreciate it. I really do. But wake up. You need to gain some perspective. Every time you think that there is a problem and you go into this spiral, you’ve been wrong. There has never been a problem. It’s always been ok, you have been ok, and you have become, well, lucid again. This thought spiral has never actually benefited you. It’s not protecting you, even though it does want to. It’s encouraging you to sabotage what is good, to mistrust because you feel, deeply, undeserving of this. That it would never happen for you because you’re a bad person. Well guess what Mason. You’re not. This whole thing would not even be happening if you were a bad person. What you have with him is good. It’s phenomenal. And I know that it’s hard to believe that something so good is happening to you, but it is. You, with all your scars and troubles and anxieties and mistakes and imperfections, deserve this. Stop convincing yourself otherwise. You are loved. And you do love. I love you. You too Brian. Don’t do anything you’ll regret. You. Are. Ok.
