There are parts of you that have never been touched or remain unexplored. Not because you haven’t looked, but some mirrors exist inside other people.
Relationships are not just company. I mean, not specified to partners alone. They help you to dig deeper. Each one brings a version of you that solitude cannot reach. Certains part of us are dormant without the right connection. Waiting for someone who carries that particular key. Be it a rivalry, or a mentorship or even grief
Isn’t it kind of disturbing? Unreachable or unexplored qualities that are hidden for even oneself?
There is a second thing, somewhat buired inside the first. Every relationship runs on two channels. Ofcourse, how you receive, and how you give. Most people assume these are the same. They almost never are.
For eg, you might give through action like through showing up, through doing the thing without being asked. But what you might like to receive might be just words, and only words.
The language you speak and the language that lands are two different ends. Like the quiet rivalry between a reader and a writer. Most of us are running translations inside every relationship we have, often without knowing it. At somepoint of time, the bridge collapses. Certainly, the translation cost is real.
I don’t have a name for that. I am not sure it needs one.
What I do know right now is this. If the translation never made right, it doesn’t tap the unexplored parts. The version of you that person (not necessarily to be a human) could have called forward, never arrives. You do not fully exist to yourself. You are partly a function of who has shown up and what they unlocked.
But,
Who are you for real? What is still dormant in you, waiting for the right kind of connection to arrive?
Cheers
