No. 002 - Understanding

One of the loneliest experiences is being told,

“I understand.”

Not because the person is wrong.

But because sometimes understanding isn’t the thing we’re looking for.

Sometimes we don’t need someone to solve the feeling.

Or explain it.

Or compare it to their own experience.

Sometimes we simply want someone willing to sit beside us long enough to witness it.

Being understood and feeling understood are not always the same thing.

The difference lives in presence.
