Conversations That Heal
Assalamualaikum wbt,
Hi!
“The most important thing in all human relationships is a conversation, but people don’t talk anymore, they don’t sit down to talk and listen. They go to the theater, the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories.”
— Paulo Coelho
Conversation makes people listen. And by listening, you begin to understand how important it is to care for someone—to let them know they’re heard, that somebody truly cares.
I like listening to people. But there are times when I also need someone to listen to me. Not everyone is happy all the time. That’s not mental health; that’s denial. Sometimes, in the middle of a conversation, things get tense. Not a real fight, just a clash of emotions. The best thing to do is leave it behind and move on the next day. Why continue hurting each other?
Conversation is a subjective thing. We talk to connect, not to drift apart.
I’ll admit—I’m not a good talker, but I am a good listener. Tell me everything. I may not always have the right words or solutions, but I’ll listen. I’m not a therapist, but I promise I’ll care.
When I care about someone, I care deeply. Maybe that’s why it hurts when people take me for granted. Still, I need to find my light—and I will. I promise this.
