Presence ✨

Presence is an art form.

In How to Know a Person, David Brooks highlights how deep listening and genuine presence can profoundly impact a relationship.

Giving someone your full attention makes them feel valued and understood.

And a lot of it simply has to do with showing up.

“When someone is going through a hard time, you don’t need to say some wise thing; you just have to be there, with heightened awareness of what they are experiencing at that moment.”

Happy journaling,

Kelsey
