Connected
I’ve never had more ways to connect with people. And yet I’ve never seen so many lonely hearts. Maybe loneliness isn’t the absence of people. Maybe it’s the absence of being known.
I thought I was writing a love letter to my friends. My therapist gently corrected me: “No…this is their love letter to you.” I haven’t looked at friendship the same way since.
We often think healing requires someone to carry our biggest burden. But I’ve learned that the people who change us most are usually the ones quietly picking up all the little pieces while we learn to lift the boulder ourselves.
