Aaah! While reading this the theme song kept distracting me "It's Shaun the sheep. It's Shaun the sheep..."

I don't know if my theory is right, but we need to work on the single unit to make the bigger picture work.
It all ends to getting to know ourselves and manage to become an "observer" of our ourselves. Once you get to see a situation from the outside, be as objective as you can and have all the good intentions to listen and work things out (without suppressing you or your partner in the process), relationships can work.
The point is: Who is willing to invest time and learn how to make things work? First on an individual and then on a couple level (and of course other relationships).
Plus, who has the courage to admit their mistakes, listen to all the voices from the outside asking for them to change for the better (voices sometimes soft, other times more angry) and not alienate themselves? (this is just from my personal observations)

It was a lovely piece, Abigail! And I surely need to read it one more time later.
Lots of kisses! 😘😘😘
