Your relationships are teachers. Journal about what you’re learning right now in your committed unions, whether romantic or platonic. If you’ve felt sensitive, disappointed, or blue with your nearest and dearest over the past day or so, ask yourself why. Do you have any unarticulated needs or desires? Communicate them. Your partners and companions aren’t mind readers (probably). Making an effort to express what’s going on for you can close the gaps in your 1:1s.
