Baggage Sh!t

This week, we talked about the baggage that we all bring to every relationship. Let me say that again: baggage is something that we all bring to every relationship. Not just romantic ones. Why? Because baggage is just another term for the perfectly natural experience of being human, experiencing trauma and exuberance, learning and re-learning, and being a complex, whole human being. Don’t worry: we are all carting around our baggage.

As we discussed on the show, though, the important thing is how you handle your (and a partner’s) said baggage. Can you be perfectly honest about who you are and what challenges you bring to the table? Its difficult. It takes time and practice and failure and more practice. But if you think about it, none of us actually has a choice in the matter. The obstacles will eventually get in your way and need to be addressed; so why not take them head on? You’ll be glad you did: regardless of the outcome, the truth is all that you will encounter.
