Ultimately, what people really crave is companionship and love, and to be seen. We all want someone to witness our lives. If no one has a concept of what I’m doing or up to, it’s almost feels like I don’t exist because no one is there to witness me.
This idea of actually “being seen” is really important. When I say “being seen” I mean someone really knowing who you are, and knowing what goes on inside of you, and accepting you for all of it. When you share yourself with someone it is a feeling like no other.
Before that can fully happen, you need to start knowing, and seeing, and loving, and accepting yourself.
