You've probably heard of Attachment Theory by Bowlby, which states that the attachment style of a child to its caregiver has a direct influence on their emotional and physical well-being and later development. It turns out that this is not only true for children. Adults, too, need secure, close relationships where they feel safe, heard, connected, and appreciated in order to thrive and explore the world. To hell with independence and self-reliance. Humans are social creatures, and science now proves it. Love your significant others, support them, listen to them, and encourage them to do the same for you. You'll all be better off for it. The world needs more connection and love to enable the #goodlife for all.
