To be truly seen is one of the best gifts.

Someone asks questions that shows they were really listening.

They ask how they can help, maybe without premeditated effort just being themselves, and show they truly have your best interests at heart.

Even more precious is when there’s no expectation of being seen and yet you are.

Alternatively, it really hurts when you have the expectation of being seen and you aren’t.

When you express your desire to be seen and it’s overlooked, blatantly ignored.

But thus is life, a series of ups and downs.
