You Can’t Say the Wrong Thing to the Right Person

You can’t say the wrong thing to the right person. 

When you are with the right person, they are willing to witness you at your truest. They allow space for you to be you, in all your weird uniqueness. They support you as you evolve, transform, and blossom. Their presence alone gives you the safety to fully experience freedom.

The right person won’t run if you share what’s on your mind. They will lean in with curiosity so they can understand your perspective. They will never shut you down for expressing yourself, judge what you say, or invalidate your needs for that moment.

You can’t say the wrong thing to this person because they hold the space of a comfortable neutrality — held steady by their deep knowledge and understanding of who they are. 

Nothing can shake them. They know how to create a place so safe for themselves that you can’t help but be drawn in. They hold you in a way that everything you say is quietly understood. And, they ask for clarity when it’s not. 

There is nothing “wrong” with anything you could ever say to this person. They can’t even fathom passing judgment onto you. They may have a different opinion, but they know how to hold more than one true, yet conflicting, belief at the same time.

They are emotionally intelligent and aware, and able to regulate themselves during hard conversations. They understand their trigger points and seek to understand yours so that you feel safe communicating vulnerability.

Whether this person is a friend, family, co-worker, practitioner, lover, stranger, or whatever, they fill our lives with deep, anchored, grounded energy. They allow for us to fully express who we are, and they are willing to see us at our best and at our worst.

The right person gets your “weird” that others don’t. My “right person” right now is five people. My five friends that just get me. Each of them allows space for my weird, and I thoroughly enjoy being in the space of theirs. 

I don’t have to filter or water down the things I say. They actually prefer that I don’t. They encourage me to communicate, drop my walls, strengthen my voice, and speak my message.

Not everyone is the “right person”. They may be few and far between, or just seem to pop in and out of our life. But when you find them, nurture that relationship. These people help us grow in exponential ways and are the silent, sacred witness of our transformation.
