“I noticed it was it hard for you to comfort me last night. Do you have any idea why?”⁣⁣

“I wonder what I did that may have caused you to be defensive in our argument today.”⁣⁣

“I feel jealous when you spend time with him, but I also feel thrilled to see you smile the way you do when you come home from being with him.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“I’m sorry, I can’t tolerate that experience in our relationship, and I also feel really bad about having to have that boundary.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“I can’t seem to figure out what’s going on with me. I’m noticing I have a strong urge to blame you for this, even though I know you didn’t do anything wrong.”⁣⁣

There is a magical and sacred space that exists in words like these, in moments like these for me. ⁣⁣

The moments I can find them and touch them are incredibly rare. ⁣⁣

But when I do find them, I am often filled with enormous gratitude.⁣⁣

I know I am reaching and touching a portal inside of myself that I long to reach for over and over and over again in this lifetime.⁣⁣
