Thursday, July 29, 2021 – Pain sometimes comes not so much from reality as it does from the gap between reality and your expectations. If you feel unhappy in one of your close companionships, this could be a sign that your experience is clashing with your idea of what this relationship should look like. Try to clarify what you really value in life and consider what connections that support those values would look like. This may help you determine whether your pain is coming from your reality or from your expectations.
