Learning about boundaries has led some to believe that they’re the only important part of relationships, but imperfect connections still add value to our lives.

Emotional validation is more than comfort; it’s the foundation of emotional healing.
When we stop being told our feelings are “too much” or “wrong,” something powerful happens. We finally get the chance to face those emotions instead of running from them.
Emotional validation isn’t about fixing, explaining away, or debating feelings. It’s about creating emotional safety so healing can begin. When someone feels seen, they can start processing instead of protecting. Validation is as much about leaning in with empathy as it is about getting out of the way.

In a world full of pop psychology and quick tic-toc videos, we need to keep grounded and informed. This is so helpful.

We often hear attachment styles used to explain everything from personality traits to how someone spends money, but that’s not what attachment theory is about.

Your attachment style doesn’t determine how tidy your home is or whether you love small talk at parties. It helps you understand how you connect and respond emotionally in relationships, what triggers you, how you reach for closeness, and how you respond when your partner reaches for you.

Learning about your attachment style isn’t about labeling yourself; it’s about recognizing the patterns that shape emotional safety and connection and finding your path toward secure attachment.

"To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude. The movement from loneliness to solitude, however, is the beginning of any spiritual life because it it is the movement from the restless senses to the restful spirit, from the outward-reaching cravings to the inward-reaching search, from the fearful clinging to the fearless play.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, Reaching Out
