do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely
like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day
lived my whole life in guilt bc i thought i was responsible for people's feelings. newly realizing that other people are responsible for their feelings and reactions, even if they make it seem like i'm the problem. a lot of the time it really has to do w them and their own emotional regulation. i can't keep thinking i'm not allowed to have space bc of other people's insecurities. like i literally refuse to dim myself. other people are responsible for their feelings just as i'm responsible for mine.
i really appreciate this bit here. senshi is sensitive to izutsumi's eating habits, and rather than admonishing her or punishing her, senshi works to make sure she's fed in a way that aligns with her needs, even if those needs are just variety in this case. it really shows how much senshi is dedicated to making sure his group is fed and likes the food they're eating, taste being just as important as nutrition, by recognizing their likes, dislikes, and limits
