Together, even though apart…
I have heard this line, 'Let there be spaces in your togetherness.... ' a number of times... But today during this lockdown due to the Pandemic I understand the meaning of these words.... Space of all forms is an essential part of our togetherness.. Without space we do not know the value our togetherness... And it holds true in all the areas of our life... Especially mental health... We need to keep ourselves safe by creating space between each other physically, to reduce the risk of getting infected; and space mentally, emotionally from words and actions of other people that become our validation certificate that affects our own self image... We need to keep some space, so that we can breathe easy about just being ourselves and being okay with whoever we are... Self acceptance is the key to accepting our changing realities, it gives us the required space to get creative about our life...
