One of the hardest and most frustrating things I have experienced in life is being told repeatedly that asking for someone to just listen to me is not effective problem solving. But just seriously fuck that. So. Much. Being listened to in itself can be a uniquely healing experience in a world where many of us are silenced, sometimes violently so. I don't need to solve the problem you think I need to solve and I don't have to do it the way you think I need to do it. In fact, just listen: What I sometimes need most of all is space to speak. What helps you get the space you need to speak your truths?
