Stockholm syndrome is when a kidnap hostage develops trust and affection with their kidnappers.
The opposite of a healthy connection.
So when we say connection or community…
What we don’t want is… to be held captive, obligations or stuck relationships.
And what we DO want is to feel cared for, to feel someone has our back, to be able to be ourselves.
But what are you willing to offer?
It’s simple, but it might be scary.
It’s to go without guarantees.
To have someone’s back, to care for someone and allow others to be themselves.
But if you do it enough, on a long enough timescale, care will come back to you.
Someone is waiting for you to show up.
