"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." ~ Steven Covey

Usually, when people leave each other they cite irreconcilable differences. What they don’t realize is that the things that end up feeling so big and unworkable all start out being little things. Annoying habits that don’t change, emotional insecurities that play into blame and shame, inability or unwillingness to own our own feelings… the list goes on and on because we are all such imperfect versions of ourselves.
