Choose Connection over Isolation

as much as we might crave isolation, what we often need is connection

I don’t know about you, but when I’m in a funk, my go-to move is to close the blinds, throw on some sweats, start a movie, snack away, and cuddle up in the softest blanket. Can you relate?

Sometimes, we all need a break—a moment to reflect and figure out what we really want. But here’s the truth: as much as we might crave isolation, what we often need is connection.

Whether you're the life of the party or someone who must recharge after every social interaction, connecting with others is essential, especially when it comes to healing. You weren’t hurt in isolation, and you won’t heal in isolation either. Authentic connections are the key to growth.

You need to talk.
You need to vent.
You need to relearn what it means to feel safe in relationships.

I get it—opening up can be hard. It’s scary to let others in, especially when you've been burned before. It’s a learning process that takes time. This doesn’t mean reconnecting with toxic, irresponsible, or unaccountable people. It’s about choosing wisely and allowing yourself to be supported by those who genuinely care.

Yes, absolutely talk to Jesus. I highly recommend it. I give it a 10 out of 10. But even Jesus surrounded Himself with people, showing us the importance of human community.

Your healing isn’t just for you. It’s for your loved ones, your future relationships, and the generations that follow. So, the next time you’re curled up with your favorite snack, ask yourself: Who can I let in to help me through this? Even if it’s just a listening ear, that connection can make all the difference.
