Maybe it’s the feeling of being wanted. Maybe it’s being kept busy so my mind doesn’t wander to the wrong places. Maybe it’s the validation that I am worthy, that my failed relationships are not a reflection of my worthiness of love and a happy, mutually beneficial relationship.

Being an adult is rough. I just want money and to have fun.

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
