Relationships

You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever.... connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.

Connecting in a significant and vulnerable way with another human being is one of the bravest things you can.  Brave or reckless.  Both, I suppose.  Or maybe it depends on how you go about choosing the other human beings with whom to connect.

 

And the connecting is only the beginning.  It takes work and maintenance to have a good relationship of any kind with another person.  Especially if you are in it for the long haul.  People have bad days.  Bad months and years, even.  Relationships aren't just about the time you have with that other person, they are about the real lives outside of your connection.

 

A good human connection then is not simply a relationship.  Instead of "to lationship again" a solid connection with another person is actually a realationship.
