Longing may be pointing toward intimacy, safety, meaning, expression, or belonging that wants to be cultivated within your own life.
What is really happening
Unmet desire often gets projected outward so strongly that you lose contact with what it is really asking for inside.
Longing can become a teacher when it is felt honestly instead of turned into fantasy, fixation, or shame. Longing may be pointing toward intimacy, safety, meaning, expression, or belonging that wants to be cultivated within your own life.

Longing may be pointing toward intimacy, safety, meaning, expression, or belonging that wants to be cultivated within your own life. This is where compassion and discernment begin working together instead of against each other.
