We need to appreciate each other for the unique individuals we are and the complicated lives we lead. As we show our care, concern, and compassion for each other, we need to embrace a range of messiness around our lives. We can’t try to instill simplistic order that doesn’t exist. Instead, take the time to build relationships.
