Two old high school classmates met up after a decade. They ended up moving to the same city and had decided to reconnect. They both reminisced and reflected on their lives and the lives of everyone else from their high school days. They cracked some jokes, shed some tears, and overall enjoyed each other’s company in a way they couldn’t have ever expected.
A very underrated type of conversation is a reflective one. These conversations encourage each person to really examine their growth throughout the years. Depending on where someone is in their life, this can either be a fun and empowering conversation or a sobering one; either way, it is a beautiful and necessary conversation for us to partake in.
When we feel understood and accepted by those we talk to, it can create a sense of strength and resolve within ourselves. It can uplift our spirits and remind us that we are not only capable of whatever we set our minds to, but we are heavily supported in our pursuits.
Many of us are trying our best to create a life that fulfills us, and it is not an easy task. Reflective conversations can help us put a lot into perspective and help contextualize our experiences. It helps us understand where we’ve been, where we are, and where we are trying to go.
These conversations can even be had with strangers as it is a great way to get to know someone. You learn a lot about them quite quickly by peeling back the layers of their life alongside them. Sometimes we meet people, and we are so curious to learn more. We often get stuck when figuring out how to do it. These sorts of conversations are the best way to move forward and satiate our curiosities.
The tone of these conversations foster a calm, warm, and maternal feel. Going back in time and compassionately revisiting our memories creates a sense of safety that can only nurture a relationship between people. That’s the secret ingredient to those rare but powerfully quick connections.
Sharing our life experiences is a form of giving and receiving. Many people put effort into their lives, and there’s nothing more valuable than a person’s effort being recognized. When we allow ourselves and others to revel in our growth and evolution, life no longer feels as harsh. There’s a sense of triumph that can sink into our bones and build confidence we may not have ever known.
It’s important to remember, however, that reflective conversations involve vulnerability. We are taking a risk when we allow our precious memories to come to the surface and reveal who we’ve been and who we have become.
It can feel scary at first, and it is important to trust your intuition when having conversations like this; nevertheless, when you find yourself around someone — whether a stranger, an old friend, or an acquaintance — who you wish to grow a deeper connection with… take the chance. Judgment can hurt, but that hurt can be temporary; so, don’t ever be afraid to try again.
