For a long time, I thought belonging had something to do with place; Where we live, Where we’re from, Where we fit in.

For a long time, I thought of vulnerability as something I had to manage carefully.

I’ve noticed how quietly the idea of urgency settles into us. We don’t usually choose it outright. It arrives through comparison, expectation, timelines we didn’t consciously agree to. Somewhere along the way, life begins to feel like something we’re meant to keep up with rather than inhabit.

I’ve noticed that listening is one of the most revealing ways we show up in relationship.

So much of what we learn about attention is shaped by what feels difficult.
