We were not created to be alone
Do not believe the lie
We were not… created to be alone
The solitary life lacks the richness of conflict and community.

We sacrifice community to avoid conflict
We give up relationship to avoid pain
We live with a void where love should have been cultivated
We endure our existence without the richness of having our hearts entangled with others.

Conflict tills the soil for authentic intimacy
Communing with others is messy and complicated and stressful and exhausting and fulfilling and life giving and beautiful
-when we toil together.

We make each other whole
Our differences… enhance our beauty
We were not created to be alone.
Do not believe the lie.
