The art of genuine connection: Insights from heart to heart conversation with Sadia Jafrin apu

[Tasnim Chowdhury]

Have you ever had a conversation with someone who consistently expresses their emotions genuinely? The most recent SALT discussion I had was with Sadia Jafrin apu where Instead of a structured conversation, we had a heart-to-heart conversation where we opened up about our deepest feelings and innermost ideas. During our conversation, there arose the over-present issue of anger, which many of us deal with on a daily basis.

However, what struck me about Sadia apu was her openness in addressing her own struggles with anger. She is a straightforward, genuine individual who tackles things straightaway. Even those that aren't pleasing, like anger, she doesn't hold back when expressing them. Her dedication to generating appreciation in her expressions of intense emotions is even more admirable. Her ability to listen is one of her most amazing qualities. In a world where conversations often feel rushed or superficial, she offers a refreshing contrast. She makes you feel heard and understood when she listens, because she listens with true attention. Sadia apu's commitment to practice appreciation, along with her genuineness, is what I believe is the most powerful one. She is excellent at recognizing the contributions and virtues of others; this is a talent that promotes optimism and strengthens bonds among people. Her commitment to appreciating those around her is not only commendable but also influential. It encourages me to develop an identical habit of appreciation, encouraging me to express gratitude towards others as much as I can.

In a society where we're often encouraged to mask our true emotions, people like Sadia apu stand out as genuine examples. They demonstrate to us the significance of embracing our humanity in all of its complexity. Therefore, avoid fleeing from painful emotions and accept them as opportunities for growth, learning, and real connection.

Thank you @Ritu B.Nanda for your comment.The heart-to-heart connection that resulted from the conversation was simply fantastic. By telling our fellow cohort members about this topic, we can inspire more in-depth discussion and  develop closer relationships.Our relationships and cooperation are eventually strengthened as a result of getting to know one another better and developing a sense of confidence and mutual  appreciation among the cohort.
