Awe....love...dance me to the end of love. This is such a classic song and always moves my soul. It brings forth a deeply serious richness to the all encompassing realization that to love, to find the beloved and live through all that it brings is to experience a depth that has a rhythm and a strength not unlike the sound of waves on the shore of a vast ocean...timeless. And this melody is somehow so evocative and captures the timeless rhythm within love itself.

Jim Carrey once said: "Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.
In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was. The truth is, you never truly "move on." You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And that’s okay.
Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life. So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember.
There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.
Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing—not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together."

Are you emotionally aware of your behavior?

MINIMIZING and INTIMACY:
The biggest buzz kill to emotional intimacy is minimizing your partners heart felt feelings and needs when those feelings happen to relate to your behavior.

However for the offending partner said, "buzz kill through minimizing" is a great way to shut down conflict and momentarily boost a fragile sense if self, change the subject, protect the defensive ego or steal the emotional stage.

What are some examples of minimizing statements?
