To be loved is to be known, Is a feeling that goes beyond words. To be loved is to be understood, To be understood when words fail you. To be loved is to be seen, To be seen when you feel invisible. To be loved is to be heard, To be heard even in your quietest moment. To be loved is to be valued, For whatever it cost and take. And to be loved is to have a safe space, To have a home with sense of belonging that feels irreplaceable.

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.” - George Orwell, 1984 #quotes #SciFi #ScienceFiction #books #GeorgeOrwell

I feel as if I'm made to understand but not to be understood.

We all long to be seen, heard, and understood. But most of the time, I experience the opposite — invalidated.

Obsessed with psych types? You just wanted to be seen. Understood. Loved. We all do.
