Is reconnecting even possible
I’m not speaking of an outstanding bill — nor did I lose service.
Yes, it can relate to a bill going through the roof, and even a dropped call. More so the lost connections within a once strong bond. Father, sister, spouse, best friend; no one is exempt.
The feeling of disconnect can cause more tension than the problem at hand. The inability to communicate effectively and the ability to vent and be heard should never be an ordeal.
To feel disconnected from someone is to feel separated, possibly a breath away but yet it’s long distance. There’s no conjunction; nothing is aligning and there are no dots to connect. That thin rope has hardened and popped — it’s done for, no cliff to waltz back up as they’ve done before they’ve crossed whatever boundaries. Hence the rope wouldn’t pop the first time the boundary was crossed, we tend to allot chances.
Disconnection is usually the last stepping stone
As I’ve learned, anything can be said, it’s how you say it. However, one thing I can attest to, you do not get to choose how it sits with the receiver. Ironically, we cannot choose how they respond either. (Laughs)
I would like to say we are not stupid, we should know sensitive spots A.K.A things-not-to-say to the disconnect (the person). We know what will make the situation worse. And ego? Yes, ego encourages and allows us to do the opposite of what’s morally right. Pride has to be put aside, ego has to be left where it was recognized. We must have the talk.
Words of my favorite American Super Nanny “Turn on those listening ears”. Learn how to listen without the intent to respond. Learn how to individually or even collectively come up with solutions to resolve conflict, to essentially reconnect.
Quote of the Auracle: “It’s not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.”
