Now It Makes Sense

A personal story in the experience: I Want to Be Understood By Just One Person
 I didn't join this group before, because it never really made sense to me, but now I understand this feeling.  

How much can one person really understand another?  People are so complex.  It doesn't seem possible to ever be fully understood, at the deepest level, by only one person.  At least, I have never experienced it.  Yet I still want to experience it.    

My family members and friends understand many things about me, but no one ever fully understands.  We all eventually come to a point, beyond which, we are strangers.    

I want someone to look in my eyes and see straight to my soul--knowing, understanding, accepting.  A true soul connection that needs no words.

Maybe it doesn't exist, but we can always hope that it does.

Good point. I guess I'll just write it all down in my journal for the ages. My journal always understands me. :-)

Oh, just a lot of family things going on. Obligations. A lot of things hitting at once. Sometimes I just wish I had a shoulder to cry on, you know? Everyone has those times.

I'm sure I will, after a good cry, a hot bath, and a good night's sleep. Thanks. :-)

Tough times. Hope you slept well SOUL. I'm not sure of the chances of finding someone who understands *fully*; might put too much pressure on significant other by wanting that; but understanding *a*lot* and connecting *very*strongly* I certainly experience in my relationship and feel very blessed for it, and content.

A good cry can be very cleansing. I used to suppress my emotions, too, and I know exactly what you are talking about. It seems I weep so easily anymore, but it hasn't ever become overwhelming to where I don't think I can handle it. It's all about balance.

Haha, I haven't been to sleep yet, JMO, but thanks. There is no significant other for me to put pressure on, and I wouldn't demand that of them. I just thought it would be a nice thing to share, whether or not it's actually possible. A passing thought.

I'm glad that you've found such a wonderful relationship, and I'm not too proud to say that I am jealous as all hell. You are lucky. ;-)

Thanks, TUM, so will you. If we say it enough times, maybe it will become a reality (or we'll just jinx ourselves...?) Haha! ;-)
