This post is dedicated to Pirata 💚 and to understanding.
When we come into your life with an unknown history,
remember that we don’t know yours either.
Neither of us arrives already knowing the other.
We meet somewhere in between.
Understanding takes time.
It takes effort.
It takes trust on both ends.
Slowly, moment by moment, we reveal ourselves to each other.
A movement.
A response.
Something that works.
Something that doesn’t.
And sometimes, we misunderstand.
Perhaps that is part of understanding too.
Because a misunderstanding offers something we didn’t know before.
Another moment comes.
Another piece of information becomes available.
And what we thought we knew has the chance to change.
Understanding isn’t getting everything right.
It is continuing to discover one another, even when we don’t.
Perhaps understanding isn’t something one of us has about the other.
Perhaps it is something we create together.
And the relationship itself is where that understanding begins.
