"One dimension of an adult becoming full-grown is when they learn the shift from needing relationships or validation to being a steady relational center who helps others feel seen, heard and grounded." -- ShadowsPub
When we don't need to use our energy to seek attention, we have capacity to give attention to others. Our presence is felt simply by being present -- silent and reassuring.
Growing up means we stop looking for approval and start being there for others. Sometimes, just showing up quietly is the most powerful way to support someone.💕
