Relationships: Journal Prompt 4

Taking.

For the glutton giver, taking in a relationship is foreign. And taking without guilt, forget it, you are asking too much of the routinized giver, it is too vulnerable to acknowledge a need or desire.

I ask you to reconsider.

In healthy relationships, you get to take—allow the people you love to show up for you, extend themselves, to be inconvenienced. To take, is a human part of mutual relationships.

For the shy takers, be reminded of the co-occurring experience that is a relationship.

You are allowed to take up energy.

You are permitted emotional space.

You get to have needs.
