Ask for what you need and no one will think badly of you. Not only is your reputation stronger than you think, but the people who love you enjoy making your life easier just like you want to make their lives easier. Emotionally, you are on solid ground, so be as needy as you want. Expressing your desires or worries will help you exorcise any negative feelings. Self-expression also brings you closer to other people. Reach out and enjoy this feeling of support!

Your heart’s a little greedy now, but that doesn’t mean the situation or person you’re going after will satisfy it. Keep your options open. It’s your prerogative.

You might feel yourself overcome by a deep sense of understanding of your partner. Suddenly you get where it is they’re coming from. And that helps you see where the two of you are going.

Things aren’t looking as dire as they once were. You’re able to meet your family obligations, even if you can’t do it in style. That alone should be a big relief. Go ahead and allow yourself to feel it.
