#love and communication

[emmaliee]

Last year marked the inception of my book project centered on the pivotal role of communication within relationships. Over the course of my three-year immersion in communication studies, I encountered various theories and methodologies aimed at enhancing interpersonal connections. Experimenting with each theory in a series of short-lived relationships, I witnessed firsthand their varying degrees of success.

Unbeknownst to my dates, each encounter served as a trial ground, revealing insights into the complexities of human interaction. While some theories proved remarkably effective, others were inconsistent. Inevitably, amidst the experimentation, I found myself emotionally entangled in certain instances, experiencing heartbreak and navigating toxic situationships. It became evident that my intellectual pursuits often outpaced my emotional readiness. However, amidst these trials, I encountered a remarkable individual who proved to be a true blessing. It was then that I resolved to conclude my experimental phase and pursue genuine connection. My forthcoming book will document the plethora of trials and tribulations encountered, culminating in a synthesis of what truly constitutes effective communication in relationships.

To be seen is not to be loved. But to be loved is to be seen and understood completely.

When Bruce gets injected with truth serum

"Who's your favorite"

Everyone looked at Jason.

"Out of the four of us," he clarified. "Who's your favorite?"

He, Dick, Tim, and Damian turned to Bruce curiously.

"Well..."

Bruce proceeded to go on and on for over 3 hours about how he didn't actually have a favorite and how proud he was of all of them, only interrupted when Alfred walked in and Bruce started about how he was the best butler-dad ever.

None of them could honestly say they weren't at least a little teary.
