7 – 4 – 22: Nurture Your Relationships

Dearest Poppet,

The smell of chlorine now lingers on my skin due to my morning soaks in the pool. I enjoy an early float to clear my mind of all its clutter and just enjoy floating. I love the way that the pressure just falls off my back and I can just lay there in nature, deaf to the modern world. My body might be small but it can be tough to carry and I appreciate the stillness and calm.

That is one aspect that I enjoy on my own – just existing in myself and allowing the waves to rock me. However, this isn’t about ourselves – it’s about others. All relationships of every kind (romantic, platonic, working, etc) require continuous effort. While some relationships can be easier than others, there’s always going to come a time when misunderstandings happen. As much as I love to joke that humans are simple creatures (glad I’m not one!) the truth is that you have a lot of complexities within. There’s countless ways to personally interpret just about every situation, and you must make the effort to figure out where those differences are.

Nurturing those relationships (even by small efforts) will make a lasting impact.

With love,

Irene la poupée
