Today I had an extensive and deep conversation with my current partner about my feelings and concerns regarding our relationship. I was shit scared because in previous relationships whenever I poured my heart out I would not feel listened, and they would act as if I were overreacting, invalidating whatever I shared at the time; today was very different. I poured my heart out, I cried, I cried some more, and then we took a deep breath and a small pause to then reconnect and listen to each other. I had this recurring thought in my head that this person would leave me crying my heart out, feeling empty and then end the relationship, but it was not like that. I felt validated, listened but overall I felt loved.
I have always believed that better things and better people come after we learn some lessons with previous relationships, but this was such a huge step and even an affirmation that good things do come after whatever shit you're going through.
This is a small event in my life that I would like to share here to let you know that it does get better, your thoughts matter and your emotions are important, no matter how irrelevant or small you may think they are, it is all in that pretty little head of yours, remember sometimes our mind is our worst enemy and we must work to not let it win.
