There’s always something super healing about being heard by someone who knows how to genuinely listen. Without reacting, without trying to give the answers they think you’d want to hear, without exerting too much effort to empathize with how you feel; it just comes naturally. There’s something healing about allowing the rawest thoughts to finally have a voice, without regretting turning up its volume. Because the soothing impact of knowing those thoughts will land right where they’re supposed to, has the power to quiet down the potential doubts of misinterpretations or judgments. Because you no longer deal with their ear or even their mind, you directly deal with their heart. The heart that has the capacity to hold space for you, while you slowly learn to mend your own broken pieces inside.
