What I am saying here is that communication in relationships is hard enough. We are all incompatible until we do the work to become as compatible as possible.

This is not a resolution post. I don’t believe in New Year resolutions but I do believe in reflection and lessons one can learn from it. I have always believed that change starts with self awareness and reflection, whether it’s in written or mental form. We can and should always learn from earlier experiences and indeed, mistakes. They give us the material to change the way we do things. The post Embrace Individuality: A Reflection on 2024; A Task for 2025 appeared first on FREE FROM CODEPENDENCY ..read more
