And suddenly things look good again

Some breakthrough stuff with Erin last night, and she's been feeling more positive than she has in months. Her flu has pretty much completely gone, so she's got her energy back, and she's actually feeling positive about the future.

She's got an interview in Edinburgh today, and while she was waiting to go she received a call from the playwright of a Glasgow theatre company that she sent her CV to, asking her in for an interview to be office administrator. At this point, she doesn't really care what she does, as long as it's in a theatre environment, and this would be fantastic. And being in Glasgow, we'd be able to take the train in together.

Emotional support

I still find it odd, even after all this time, to be emotionally supporting someone.

I'm pretty much defined by my logicality and befuddlement at peoples emotions (even though I have them myself), and all the understanding I have is from hard work, observation and practice, it almost never comes naturally. So to find myself, again, being the person that provides the emotional support for someone in need is puzzling to me.

Surely there are people out there that are better at this kind of thing and have more intuitive understanding of what's necessary?

Surely it's obvious that I'm not ideal for this kind of 'work'.

So why does it keep happening to me?
