Had a lovely dinner with a close friend tonight. This friend is wonderful for in-depth and heartfelt conversations, a quality that I treasure so I look forward to these interactions. Topics and stories flowed but some interesting take-aways revolved around the subject of human interaction. Perhaps this comes from being a student of social science and psychology, but human interaction is one of my favorite subjects.
"Emotions are never right or wrong. They are always right. From the perspective of the person feeling them, they are the truth".
"Loneliness is perhaps less an emotion and more an alarm- a signifier that something is wrong. Something vital that we as humans need order to thrive and survive- is missing."
I highly recommend a series on Hulu called "This Emotional Life" Check it out here. It's absolutely wonderful. I find myself devouring these videos and learning remarkable things about emotional intelligence, experiential learning, and most importanly-myself.
