Acceptance isn’t resignation

Watson talks a lot about accepting the emotions that can come with this relationship, but she clarifies that it isn’t about giving up on the dynamic. “It’s not about resignation and despair, but where acceptance can be helpful, is you may be disappointed and hurt by them. You may struggle to be clear in a way that makes them feel heard and you feel good. Understand the feelings associated with the relationship are really difficult.”
