People aren’t here to understand you.
Nor are you here to be understood.
This doesn’t mean you aren’t or can’t be understood.
But it’s not required.
And…
it’s impossible to be fully understood
and seen
by another anyways.
(with one exception)
Slivers?
Absolutely.
The entirety?
Absolutely not.
Not only because most people can’t see straight in the first place,
(their view is skewed by conditioning, filters, judgments, the mind, desires, and other distortions that make it impossible to see themselves, let alone life, the moment or another, purely and accurately, so they have no choice but to view you through the limited lens of themselves)
but also because we are all moving and evolving constellations.
Your loved one may understand this moment’s iteration of you and not the next.
They may be open to you today and closed off to you tomorrow for reasons that have nothing to do with you.
So to base your experience of being / feeling loved on…
being understood by another
feeling seen by another
having another human show up in a particular way that hits the spot just right
on another human at all
is to put unnecessary weight onto something that isn’t required in the first place.
You don’t need to be understood.
And it’s wonderful when you are.
And…
by the time you don’t actually care about being seen or understood,
and you *are* seen and understood,
it doesn’t impact a thing.
Because it makes no difference at all.
