I felt less observed and more accompanied

Dear Delyara, There are relationships where you feel watched — interpreted, evaluated, slightly too aware of how you are landing. Then there are relationships where you feel accompanied. This week, I felt accompanied. That means less self-consciousness. Less editing. Less emotional choreography. More room to simply exist as I am in the moment. I think accompaniment is one of the purest forms of love. And I’m grateful to know what it feels like now.
