Extracting Closure From a Past Situation with Shawn Aaron
Why is it so important to express your feelings? Because people aren’t mind readers and if you don’t express yourself, they may never know how you feel. And, I had to learn this the hard way. This episode of Dem Bois Podcast is a solo episode where I discuss extracting closure from past relationships. I share a story about a lost love and the impact of my unexpressed feelings, and I emphasize the need to communicate love and care to those people in our lives.
I talk:
07:33 - The impact of isolation and suicide
09:19 - Extracting closure from past relationships
11:44 - Navigating love and loss
27:07 - The importance of expressing love
