This was so thought provoking!! I randomly decided to click on the link to this article, and I am so glad I did. Perhaps being known and being understood are two kinds of the same love, neither one being stronger than the other. You can understand someone without knowing them, and know someone without understanding them. While that usually leads to conflict in relationships, to only understand or know someone but not both, l think it is also somewhat beautiful. People can love us in different ways. And that’s okay.

Ankita! Thank you for taking the time to click and read. This is such a thoughtful comment — people really can love us in different ways, and we may need different kinds of love. Young adulthood is really trying to understand that give and take.
