“Aunque un maestro no tiene la profesión de ser un psicólogo, ni un curandero, ni un médico, ni un consejero ni mucho menos un padre. Un docente también se encarga no sólo de enseñar sino de ser un ejemplo para sus alumnos, de preocuparse de los problemas que cargan fuera o dentro del aula, de los traumas o miedos que acosan a sus mentes, de los temblores o terremotos en sus corazones, de aliviar o aligerar sus males, de encaminarlos al buen camino y hacer seres humanos honestos. Creo que alguien que se dedica a la docencia y no se preocupa por todos estos aspectos, no puede llamarse un maestro ni por él mismo ni por quienes lo rodean. Digamos que un docente es quien repara el puente roto de la comunicación y el entendimiento, no sólo se trata de aprender sino de aceptar lo que somos y lo lejos que podemos llegar a ser. Porque el día que salgan de las aulas parte de lo que son sera responsabilidad de la formación y los valores que demostró ese docente durante su tiempo con ellos. Porque sabe que todos son pasajeros temporales en el pupitre de su aula pero siempre los llevara dentro de su alma como un recordatorio de su vocación y su esfuerzo por formarlos. Ser maestro es ser como un escultor, les da el cincel pero depende de ellos que hagan su propia obra de arte.”

— El escultor de vidas ajenas, Joseph Kapone

ways to grow from relationship setbacks

accept that setbacks test your faith in yourself, others and your goals

respect yourself enough to self-reflect on your actions and their consequences, so that you can properly and fully embrace the setback

learn to forgive yourself and others via careful understanding of certain intentions and patience

life isn’t smooth sailing because you and the other person are human

acknowledge that you’re allowed to be imperfect, but you mustn’t damage or disregard your character in the process

put your feelings and thoughts on paper as if you’re talking to the person involved in the setback (or as if you’re narrating how things affected you/your reaction)

stray away from self-indulgent what ifs, and circular arguments about what could or should have been

acknowledge that difficulties will arise regardless of how much you love the other person, sometimes when you least expect them

nurture, treat and look out for yourself via doing things that make you happy, keep you busy, or bring you peace-of-mind

don’t feel ashamed to discuss matters with those you trust–(e.g., parent(s), siblings, friends, advisors, etc.)–to whatever extent you feel comfortable with

try to avoid blaming one another, but rather, focus on forgiveness towards yourself and the other person in order to move forward

give yourself time to recover (but remember, it may take the other person more or less time to recover as individuals)

allow yourself to be vulnerable–you’re human (it can be crucial for healing and regaining your self-confidence to overcome issues at hand); allow yourself time to process the setback and authentically experience the associated emotions

don’t forget your strengths, the strengths of the relationship, and the strengths of the other person involved in the setback

approach the setback as an opportunity to work on your ways to cope with (future) issues that could also affect your relationship; be open to learn healthy habits in order to overcome challenges in a progressive manner

there’s always room for self-improvement, no human is made of stone

be willing to express yourself in an honest and truthful manner, (e.g., it’s okay to feel sad and cry, feel indecisive or fearful)

remember: “Life is a complicated mess of emotions, responsibilities, conflicting desires, and unanticipated consequences.”

realize that setbacks happen to the healthiest relationships and the most compatible couples; sudden conflicts that test your mutual connection may be severed, flipping your relationship on its head–it’s how you react to it (and the manner in which you move forward) that makes all the difference about the nature of your relationship

acknowledge that setbacks are inevitable; what’s expected: mutual trust may be replaced with doubt and hurt; anger or frustration may take the place of the love you felt all before; a loss of trust, experiencing intense loss, hardship, or a changed perspective all have the power to challenge a relationship’s prosperity between individuals who still love each other

remember: “Facing hardships on your journey is life’s way of forcing us to be certain of our purpose,” intentions, and desires

digressing-paths

It feels like an endless loop of miscommunication. I tell you what I want and you tell me what you want. We move on. But then it happens again. It plays out almost identically. I’ve told you how much the small things matter to me. All I wanted was that one goodnight text. Instead I get nightmares of you and me and a tear-soaked pillow. This is not sustainable.
