Before Jim, Blair's secret to continuing the routine of getting up in the morning and going outside at night and making himself available - making himself a commodity - was to hide behind the walls he had erected from an early age.
Kids build Lego forts in their rooms to have fun. Blair had built solid walls around him to stay sane.
It’s said that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? It’s the same principle; what doesn’t touch you can’t hurt you.
It was a pretty easy lesson to learn, really. Or so Blair has convinced himself. He learned it fairly young, and he’s damned proud of it.
So that’s the secret that helped him keep going before Jim. It wasn't so bad. Because, hey, at least he still kept going, right?
But after Jim, things aren’t the same.
Now, the secret to continue getting up in the morning and going outside at night and making himself available - a commodity - is to believe.
Believe that he’s worth something. That he’s worth much more than the two hundred dollars crumpled in his fist tonight.
And if that's too difficult? Then the secret is to believe that Jim, at least, believes it.

And you know, with writing like this, I find it extremely easy to be enthusiastic. ;)
Also, YOU ICON! I was just thinking a couple of days back about how much I missed TBD (and then I re-watched all the eps I have). I went looking and saw the entire season is up for download in torrent form, but I can't make myself dl it. This way, I can just pretend they're on an extended break, or something. *dork*
