A person only truly changes after being deeply understood.

Many people think that change comes from criticism, persuasion, reasoning, or constantly pushing themselves.
But in fact, change has never been because you finally scolded yourself awake, but because someone finally truly saw you.
When your vulnerability is allowed to exist, when your pain is sincerely understood, when your contradictions are gently accepted,
you no longer need to fight against yourself.
Those previously insurmountable difficulties will also gradually loosen in understanding.
Because the deepest growth of a person does not come from pressure, but from being seen.
So whether or not you believe this: people change because they are understood.
I hope you remember: you don’t need to be perfect first to be worthy of understanding;
it is precisely after being understood that you begin to slowly become better.
