๐ฟ I speak a lot about fluidity, and Iโve noticed that for some people, it can sound like something that feels forced or even inaccessible.
Because for many of us, fluidity doesnโt feel real. It feels unsafe.
โจI often meet couples where one person longs for more freedom while the other needs more safety.
And too often, the one who needs safety ends up overriding that need in order to please their partner.
But this usually leads to more stress over time. ๐
And the truth is, sometimes the freedom-chaser is actually the one who most needs a box for a whileโฆ just to stop running. ๐
We need frames, titles, and identities to feel grounded. ๐ฟโจ
And you know what? Fluidity isnโt in contradiction with structure.
In fact, true fluidity isnโt possible without safety.
๐ฅฐ
We are born fluid.
Soft in our bodies.
Open in our hearts.
Flexible in how we meet the world.
But as children, we canโt meet the full complexity of what it means to be human.
We need routines, belief systems, norms, rules, and boundaries to not be overwhelmed.
Change and the unknown are scary, especially when weโre young.
โจ
So we build boxes. And those boxes become familiar.
Some even become part of who we think we are.
๐ฆ๐
But if we want to live more freely, love more truthfully, and relate with depth,
we need to understand the boxes first.
๐
We cannot force fluidity.
We have to understand why it feels so dangerous.
We have to honor the part of us that clings to roles and labels, not because weโre controlling, but because our nervous systems are trying to keep us safe.
We need to meet the rigidity with compassion.
And then, slowly, carefully, build enough safety to remember that we are fluid beings, that we were never meant to live inside fixed roles forever.
๐
So when we talk about relational fluidity, letting love evolve, letting roles shift, letting truth change, it sounds beautiful.
But it must be a conscious process.
๐
๐ Thatโs why I created a 2-day online course on relational fluidity.
Because so many of you have asked for tools, reflections, and guidance on this theme.
