People are either in touch with their emotions, or they’re not.
I call bullshit.
It’s another spectrum – we exist at varying levels of emotional connection to ourselves and through that another person, but the connection can only exist if it’s mirrored with the same intentions, which requires the same level of emotional depth. This complicates relationships with friends and family and creates walls between potential relationships, and more often than not – the levels of emotional depth are not equal – and this is why communication is important. It’s not breaking down your walls to let the world in, it’s two people splitting their walls to make an inclusive fortress where two souls can live in harmony – ideally.
No one can be perfect as a single entity – it takes two individuals seeking perfection to complete a loop of pure bliss and escape the wrath of time.
