lamb imagery

lately i keep getting pulled toward lamb imagery. it sounds silly when i say it out loud, but once i noticed it, i started seeing lambs everywhere. on signs, online, in random stores, in photos people post. every time it catches me off guard for a second, like whoa. like something is trying to tap me on the shoulder.

and maybe this is where the bpd and identity issues come in. maybe i am just seeing myself reflected back at me in this tiny defenseless animal. because when i look at lamb imagery, it feels painfully familiar. soft. scared. desperate to be loved correctly. emotionally open in a world that often feels predatory.

there is something about the exaggerated friendliness of lambs too. the softness. the way they approach things so openly. it reminds me of that feeling of wanting connection so badly that you almost glow with it. please like me. please be gentle with me. please do not turn me into something fearful.
