I have been blessed with an unprecedented opportunity to connect more deeply with my daughter

I had planned to spend our eight weeks abroad entirely outside, immersed in nature, and (thanks partly to the unseasonably good weather) we have managed to do this. I haven’t had such a good tan in years! And now that the restrictions are easing a little I am exploring our little corner of the world with a fine toothed comb, and realising with a new appreciation just how lucky we are to live here. Far reaching views permeated by the primary hues of spring and intimate encounters with wildlife have exceeded all my expectations,

I wish that someday, somewhere, we’ll be able to understand each other as father and son

I go to the store and I see that fathers and their sons are able to connect well or their mothers connect well with their daughters. For me, I don’t know if I have that with my dad. I feel like that connection doesn’t work out at all. I don’t know why anymore. For the longest time, I strived to understanding what it means to connect with my dad. He’s tech savvy and I’m not that tech savvy. I know enough to understand how computers work and a little extra, but not as much as he does. What he talks about on a day to day basis just doesn’t interest me but it does to him. We’re like polar opposites and I hate that.

I’ve found a way to turn off those kind of feelings for people who have really hurt me and get to a place where I can care about them, wish them the best, but they no longer make me cry

I am worthy of being loved and some day I will have those relationships in my life, I just have to wait for them and be patient.

I personally can’t wait to give all my friends a hug

As most cities approach their second month of social distancing, most of us have found our ways of coping and maybe even settled into a new daily routine. Whether you’re working from home or in desperate search of new hobbies while you collect unemployment checks, chances are you’ve probably figured out how to spend time by yourself.

Our family relationship must be cultivated like a garden, time, effort and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep it growing and flourishing

Letting go the old habits (you grew up cultivating those) and acquiring new set of behaviours is one of the most challenging things one has to go through to create the new identity. It needs strong commitment, support and guidance to evolve through the process.
