I want to be around honest people who will share their darkness with me. They don´t need to be heroes. I just want to connect with humans. I try to share my darkness with them too. This is also how I want to be. A human in the ongoing mess that it is.

These are the people I want to hear from. This does not mean that I am so good at remembering every detail of other people´s histories, but it means that I make an effort to ask and listen. It means I want to spend my time who those who will tell me, really, how it all feels. I actually think the honesty makes things more interesting, more vulnerable, and ultimately more worthy of honest placement at the table between the two of you.

This seems to be a gift of time and age. We learn that what we can do is just simply be who we are, continuing showing up as we are, and be loved as we are.
