Mind reading

I’m convinced that Josh can hear my thoughts. Yes, that is probably not accurate, but I swear sometimes I will be thinking about something and he reacts in such a way to make me feel like he was in my head.

Last night I was feeling particularly needy. (Now before you assume things, check yourself. I think that there is a way to be needy in a healthy way. I do not think being clingy and needy are the same thing. In my opinion being needy just means that a part of you needs more attention). In the case of last night, I really needed human interaction. I spent all day alone and my only interactions were quick phone calls. So my neediness stemmed from being lonely.

Since Josh got home late from class and was equally hungry and tired, our interactions were short and mostly focused on the TV. Not exactly what I needed, but I tried to understand that he was just tired so I cozied up in my spot on the couch and just let him relax after his long day.

I sat there quietly thinking maybe Josh and I could plan a date for the weekend hoping the idea of quality time would make me feel better. It wasn’t really working. Next thing I know, Josh paused the TV and started telling me about his day and asking about mine. Then he pulled me close and we snuggled while watching the rest of our show.

Crazy, huh? I didn’t verbalize a thing but somehow he knew exactly what I was thinking and what I needed. Maybe it comes from the years we have spent together or maybe he actually can read my mind. In any case, I love him all the more for it.
