Great post, thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts. I enjoy listening to your podcast episode. It got thinking how to get better with my relationship with people.
Needed this article, Jess, thanks for writing it up! Will definitely see relationships are my weak point, and it's specifically because of what you mentioned. As a former people pleaser, it is hard to sit with the discomfort of other people's anger/sadness/hurt, so I try to avoid it. But as you said, keeping a distance forever isn't a solution. Will try to incorporate this more, with slow intention.
You’re welcome, Dido! Writing the article actually helped me alot too. Most of my work I usually am writing to myself wherever I’m at in life. So I’m glad it was helpful! Stay strong, maintain distance and set clear boundaries.
"If the connection is real, it should feel natural." That is something I always go back to in my own relationship and I feel that way. But I guess you are saying it takes work no matter what.
Oh ok! I’m Jessica what’s your name? I just subscribed and recommended your page. I also have another Substack publication dedicated to helping other writers and creators publish on Substack called Unstuck to Publish. np fellow is about health and wellness and functional medicine.
If you need help formatting your articles let me know! I’ve read books on this shit haha
Connection is not built by avoiding difficulty.
It’s built by learning how to return after it.
If this resonated, I’d love to hear what stood out.

pride is a major culprit here
Such a powerful piece, Jessica.
Relationships, whether romantic or otherwise, take a whole lot of work to maintain and keep together. Keep dropping these amazing gems of wisdom.

The rupture is not what people remember. It’s the moment they realize the other person didn’t come back.
Not physically but emotionally.
Something closes there. And from that point on, even connection starts to feel like effort.

Yep and that’s when tensions rise and things get left unsaid and contempt builds up. Unfortunately
Great insights Jess! This could help so many people stay together rather than run! I like your playlist too. Thx for sharing. 👏
Thank you so much, Robyn!
I’m pumped you love the playlists! I create them all the time!!
Great post, Jess! Connection is the other, very needed Vitamin C!
Great point, Mary Beth! I like that. The vitamin Cs connection and the regular vitamin C!

Oh yes! All relationships, especially marriages take work! And nurturing that special bond all the time.
thank you so much, Bloke!
I’m glad you liked it. I use the same format every sunday article to honest. its way easier.
I;m glad you enjoy the pics! I obviously organize the pics and manageable chunks on purpose like that. thats my art once im done writing.
every time I create a new article, I duplicate the previous article as a draft to drafts and go edit that for the new article if that makes sense.
if you need help DM me anytime.
