boost your connection by your inabilities

in a sentimental relationship, you should never rely only on your strengths.

If you always come off as super independent and unshakably strong, the other person might feel like there’s no place for them in your life; 

like you don’t really need them.

And without that sense of mutual need or emotional connection, things can feel one-sided.

So yeah, even if you’re the type who's got it all together, it’s important to show your softer side;

let them see the parts of you that only they can support.

It's like an irony that sometimes it is your vulnerabilities—not your strengths—that help deepening bonds.

When you let someone in like that, they’re more likely to stand by you no matter what life throws your way.

yeah, they must see 1. you need them 2. you know that too and 3. you appreciate their presence.
