Mufflie,
it's okay to be attached. It's scary, but it's rewarding.Attached is like infants with their mommies. It's a beautiful thing.
Attached is like me and my cat. It's sweet, and I need her, and she needs me. She's not afraid to flop down on the ground right in front of me and put her "happy feet" in the air. I could step on her, but I don't. I rub her tummy.
the only way to get some love is to show some attachment.
Don't worry. Attachment is not the same as dependence. I'm dependent on my mailman, but I don't give a crap about whether he loves me or not. I don't even know if it's a man or a woman or a person.
Attachment is the happy, healthy, natural variant of dependency. Attachment is like a loop, where each part completes the other. Dependency is like hanging from something. It can't go on forever, and it doesn't feel right.
It's okay. don't be scared muffled. This is good. Don't fight it to hard.
