How to Have Deeper Connections

There is a quote from Richard Bach: “ The opposite of loneliness is not togetherness, it’s intimacy.” I believe it’s absolutely true, but it takes work.

We cannot change what happened before, but we have a choice to do things differently in every new moment.

We dare to be our true selves. We are vulnerable and honest. We admit mistakes and express hurt. This is what makes us authentic.

We want to change things. Because we want to experience ourselves differently from now on.

For intimacy, it’s enough to let the other person in, to show them your vulnerabilities. That’s daring and often isn’t easy to do. This is what it’s like being close to one another.

Intimacy= into- me- see

Admitting something that’s no longer working isn’t easy. When you can look at them in the eye and you can honestly tell them what you feel, your truth is freeing. It frees you and liberates others too. Because they feel safe to open the door to you too.

It happens when I open up the door of my heart. So that people can walk in or I can move closer to them. To me this is intimacy.

Keeping closed doors won’t make a difference. It won’t connect us.

Many thanks for reading.
