Showing up for one another with authenticity and vulnerability -- and sticking together through life's hard times -- is what bonds us the deepest to each other. When we learn to connect with people in this way, we foster intimate and lasting, ride-or-die relationships. Ultimately, the moments of sorrow and fear we sit through together will also give us our moments of greatest nourishment, as both givers and receivers. So yeah: learning to show up can be scary. But is the temporary fear and discomfort worth it? More than anything.
