Post 221: Be Real

May 02, 20231 min read

I was talking to a friend who had his father pass away around the same time my dad died. He was talking about how he was writing to help him work through his grief. I asked him if he would be willing to share so that I could use his thoughts on grief to explore my own.

Looking back at this afterwards, that is an extremely awkward and deeply personal question. I can also see that I somewhat put him off. Because it is so incredibly personal. To his credit he thought about it. I don’t know if he will share.

The point I am attempting to make is that I did it honestly, and authentically. I asked with the desire to learn from him. After he caught himself being shocked at my request, he saw I was asking for help. I get to applaud myself for being real and saying what I was thinking. Even better, I applaud him for seeing me and hearing what I was asking.
