Service as Love

Good morning, Sir.

One thing I noticed this weekend while I was with B was my increased attention to talking care of things for him. I'm finding myself more aware of what people need and want, and learning to anticipate them and help them. I'm more focused on how I can be helpful as a way to care for people. This has good and bad consequences. But I like to think about the fact that this week has already begun to change how I think day to day.

At the same time, I'm finding that when I'm with other partners, I feel like I should be taking advantage of the time to focus a little more on myself. I'm aware of the potential for burnout and don't want to push myself too far. Sometimes I'm able to do that, and refresh myself. But I also noticed myself more reluctant to voice an opinion with B than I usually am, and that concerned me a little. I wanted to do what he wanted, but I need to focus more on my personal boundaries and expectations for myself in my other relationships.
