Emotional Dialects
I think we sometimes miss each other, not because we aren't showing up, not because we don't love each other, or even that we don't care, but because we're wired to feel in different dialects.
Sometimes, emotions get missed not because they aren't there, but because there are so many nuances to the way we feel.
What looks like distance to one person might be deep processing to the other. Never underestimate the depth of someone's well based on the way they carry themselves through the storm.
To truly see the depth of someone is to know the depth of yourself. We are ALL still learning how to do that for ourselves and each other.
