Conversing but not Communicating
Communication is important to connect with someone. What's hard is being in a conversation full of random meaningless words, but not one word connected to your heart and soul.
In making relationships work, either love, family, or friends, communication is always necessary. To me, even without any word, you can communicate. Through eye contact, sweet gestures, a kiss, a hug, have it your way.
Just because you are talking about something, doesn't mean you are communicating.
Have you ever experienced talking with a certain person everyday but you feel like your floating away from that person. More and more, they seemed to be far away from you. The connection is not there anymore.
Whether it's a relationship, your friends, or family. You don't have to talk about a certain topic. Sometimes you need to check if you still have that communication or you're just having a conversation everyday.
Keep touching each other's soul. Keep on communicating. One meaningful word is worth more than a thousand meaningless words.
Don't let it fade away. Talk about things you don't usually talk about. Ask the person how is she/he doing.
Always allow the other to speak and tell stories.
Lighten up. If you think that the both of you are already bombarded with problems, try to lighten the conversation. It's okay to share your problems, your rants, and your complaints but not to the point that you never stop talking about them, it's tiring to hear the same thing or rants over and over again.
Keeping a conversation going is easy, but staying connected not only through words but with actions is real hard work.
Let me know what you think, state your opinion or the comments, give some advice as well if you wish.
Talk to you soon on my next post.
