Thought For Today - 4/7/10

I have been in relationships where communication was a major problem. From my personal experience, when I see relationships where individuals are listened to and understood, I count those individuals blessed because I know how rare that experience is.

I now reserve my most intimate self for the people who co-create an open space where I feel free to express myself and listen without judgment. These relationships, which I now thrive on open communication, can mean the difference between existential loneliness and a deep sense of belonging for me.

We all long to feel heard, understood, and loved, and clear communication makes this possible.

Much love,
Joseph
