Tension in the human heart

🧠🍴✨ Like this brain snack? Join the buffet inside our community.

It’s hard being human. To be human is to be inherently opposed to yourself.

You want to be independent—free to make your own decisions, follow your instincts, speak your truth.

And at the same time, you long to belong. To be part of something bigger than yourself. A team. A relationship. A community.

This internal struggle isn’t a flaw, it’s a feature.

It’s a balance of sorts.

One part of you wants to assert your view. Another wants to keep the peace. One part wants autonomy. The other wants acceptance.

What to do?

Our needs drive us, so name them.

Say what you need, even if it’s just to yourself.

I need…Connection. Consideration. Celebration. Authenticity. Support. Trust. Understanding. Acceptance. Empathy. Rest.

Naming the need brings a bit of distance, some space to choose your next move.
