Interesting question about what benefit does it serve to hold it close. Songwriters, poets, painters all use their crafts to express and work through their emotions. What is different about your method?
hey Heidi. Thanks. Good examples. I'm trying to figure out what's different about my method... I suppose one obvious one is that poets/painters/songwriters might use a level of abstraction that keeps them out of the 'danger zone' of specifics. But i'm sure that's not always true.
I am interested in what benefit [holding it close] might have for my own growth and shit, but i have yet to figure that out.
One potential problem is this:
1. You share a piece of your soul in an attempt to create deeper connections.
2. Alice, who can sense in her bones that you're a validation junkie, throws you some fake validation so she can feel important.
3. You mistake it for real validation and share even more.
4. Once Alice is tired of you or gets distracted by a new shiny object, she leaves and takes all her fake validation with her.
5. You're left crushed and feeling like it's not safe to share that part of your soul anymore.
haha fair point. Alice wouldn't do me like that tho. Would she?
Nah, it's purely hypothetical. I doubt people like that really exist
