Why love isn’t enough, and why a relationship and creating a bond aren’t the same thing.
In a previous post, I wrote about the different faces of poverty. I didn’t address poverty in relationships directly, but rather spoke generally about a lack of connection that keeps us trapped in loneliness.
I have many conversations with people who, even though they’re in relationships (whether romantic or otherwise), feel lonely or left alone. They don’t feel heard, seen, or understood. And personally, I know all too well the various emotions that arise when we build a relationship with another person, yet something is still missing.
