“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”

Simplified Meaning:
When people truly feel understood and appreciated by others, a special bond forms between them. This bond, or connection, happens when individuals feel like they matter, and when their thoughts and feelings are respected. Imagine having a friend who listens to you carefully and doesn't judge you for what you share. This friend makes you feel important and supports you, giving you strength and encouragement. Just like how a plant needs sunlight and water to grow strong, people need these positive interactions and support to thrive. By being kind, open-minded, and supportive, you can create and enjoy meaningful relationships that nurture your spirit and make both you and your friends stronger.
