Authentic Connections
The beauty of traveling is being able to allow oneself to pause daily routines and feel different cultures, beliefs, traditions whilst immersing in the unknown, simply to discover that in everything that pulsates there is a deep desire to thrive.On my journeys I learn at every moment that the aim is to feel a sense of connection, not just to a nation, a family, a movement, a nucleus, a partnership (this is also valid), but the belonging that leads to real freedom is found in understanding the temporary nature of things.
A crucial point for this feeling of profound connection, which I have found at time to be missing is the lack of authenticity in one’s communication style. Authentic communication, when well-developed inspires a feeling of lightness and eliminates fear - the fear of making mistakes, the fear of falling, the fear of delving deep into the unknown, the fear of speaking one’s inner truth.
One single “truth” is an illusion, and when we start developing an authentic manner of communicating, we will no longer resist the authenticity in others, thus real connection is established and freedom experienced.
