Visibility
In relationships we rarely see the wound, only the scar.
What lies deep beneath is what fuels the present.
Where we come from, what our experiences were like as children, the social and political environment we live in, trauma, lived experiences, and the patriarchy all come with us into every relationship we form. Every. Single. One.
That human you love and think you know all about, is not yours but is simply on loan to you. You do not know all there is to know of them. It’s our stories and assumptions that get us in trouble. You hardly know the depths of yourself, yet alone another being.
So ask the questions. Hold the space. Be curious.
Welcome, dear imperfect humans, to the art of coupling.
