SpunOut Blog: Can you relate?
Connections that carry us through the journey.
As much as we’re prompted to look out for #1 at the end of the day, have you ever considered starting the day being 100% focused on really being present as much with others as we usually are with our fine selves, and just seeing how that goes?
Our world is comprised of relationships. Not in one, you say? Well , you may not be basking under candle-lit glow this Valentine’s Day, but you have countless relationships- everyone from the chatty SpunOut Forum Mod who gave you a killer boost of confidence (wink wink) to the neighbour who’s name you don’t know even though only a thin wall separates your lives. Mum, mate, Mother Earth, and Madonna, they all play a role in shaping our lives, and in the other direction, us in imprinting our unique selves upon them.
There is so much to experience from and with others if we take the plunge and open ourselves to the give and take of interaction. Rage, joy, sadness, bliss, embarrassment, jealousy and confusion are just some of the emotions that pump through our veins in the mad world of relationships! They are head-wrecking and soul-soothing, the connections that carry us through the journey.
We hope you enjoy the next two weeks of content covering everything from relating to ourselves (‘Being in the closet’); to our family (‘American Dad’); to the object of our affections (‘Crushes and brains’); and much much more, so keep an eye out!
Lastly, BIG CONGRATS to Ciaran Harford from Dublin, winner of the recent SpunOut.ie Photo Competition. Ciaran’s amazing photo ‘Two-faced’ won the honour of gracing the SpunOut.ie homepage for the duration of our ‘Can you relate?’ campaign.
