  1. I have to agree with Jennifer h. It’s hard to think of a time. The Only thing I can think of is when my grandma was on hospice and she was living in my home while going through a transition. The time that we got to share, The words we got to give each other, I’m just being in my name and being filled with gratitude that we had each other still was it authentic connection full of love and non-judgment till approval. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced another moment in my life where it was just pure authentic non judgmental unconditional love that only a power beyond myself could bring. That and the moment my daughter was born.

  2. I think my problem is I love unconditionally and cater too much to the other side because I don’t want to disappoint them. However I recognize that I use that to compare to the other side as well. I tend to think “I love you as you are so why do you get mad or upset when I can’t do something you want or have my own shortcomings?” I do have some people in my life that don’t expect anything from me and do nothing but give and it feels so refreshing and loved. It makes me question whether I do love unconditionally or do I just think that I do until the other side does something that I secretly hope they don’t do.

  3. This has happened quite a bit recently. Even earlier today. I went to get my hair touched up, and ended up chatting with my stylist the entire time. I’m not usually one to talk with people I don’t know well. But Andrew was great. Half the conversation we didn’t even really use words. I remember at one point he said “wait, this is supposed to be an internal dialogue, why is she talking.” It was just one of those moments of true connection. It’s hard to come by, but so energizing when you do.

  4. I am not sure there has ever been a time I have not wanted the approval of the person I was talking to. I am codependent, and this is something that I struggle with everyday.

  6. Amazing. Today I stopped and had a drink in town instead of hurrying to get home before my mum did (for some reason, I think she’ll be upset if I’m not) and it just felt so…right. I wasn’t panicy, I actually got to sit and think instead of sitting and overthinking.

  7. It’s freeing….in so many ways! If you’re not worried about getting approval and being perfect, your mind is at ease and isn’t thinking about a hundred different things. Then you can truly listen and enjoy the interaction. I’m sure that feeling of pure love coming from me radiates to them and they are then more at ease and it becomes a symbiotic interaction. It’s difficult to come by, but it’s a wonderful feeling.

  8. I just started laughing … for absolutely no reason. Well, I assume the reason is that’s just what I needed. I had some built up comical tension that needed to come out. It’s powerful stuff, when someone offers that selfless attention and invites you to be as you as you can be. That’s reeeeal connection.
