About Multiple Perspectives on your fertility journey
In life, it's crucial that we understand the Multiple Perspectives that exist about anything. Why does it matter? How does it affect us?
Ask yourself these interesting questions?
Am I expecting others (my partner, my mom, my dad, my friend)to say certain words?
Am I expecting others to act or react a certain way with me?
Am I expecting others to be there for me in a certain way?
There certainly exist as many perspectives, as many realities as people in this world. Lots.
The fact is that if you being happy depends on others' reactions towards you, if you feeling validated depends on others' approval of your decisions, if you condition your happiness to other people's behavior, then you might never get what you're looking for...
What's outside of you will never validate or invalidate you or your experience of the world - you're the only one to hold that power.
Other people will always experience life through there own eyes, from there own shoes, with their own wounds - they can never understand you 100%, the same way you can never completely understand them - because we're all different. Each of us experience life through our very own prism.
That's why not expecting someone to say something, do something and act in a certain way is a gift (I'm myself still working on it!).
Human beings love to use the words "I know", "I understand what you're going through", "I've been there", but in reality, we haven't. I've stopped saying that when I understood it was preventing me from truly listening to someone else's story - instead of being immersed in mine.
We're all unique and there's so much beauty in uniqueness - we should celebrate that a lot more often!
