[VIDEO] If You're Wondering About... Being Appreciated Through Grief
Overview
“If you’re wondering about…” is a video series that collects moments about specific topics that were talked about within our deep catalogue of conversations. The vision of {THE AND} is to build a catalogue of humans expressing their experiences and what it means to be in relationship with one another in the 21st Century. We believe there is something to learn from everyone, and that one’s life experience shared can be medicine for another, and vice versa. Thus we are proud to share with you moments pulled from our {THE AND} library that reflect exploration around a particular subject or situation.
In This Episode
People share how their respective partners love feels like, the ups and downs of being together and how, after many years, the feeling of appreciation is still there and growing.
As we explore new perspectives we invite you to step into the emotional space of connection and experience the deeper lessons that shared experiences can afford humanity. To everyone who has participated openly and vulnerably in our project - we appreciate what you have shared with us and hope others do as well.

I feel like we've been
0:03
together for so long at this point
0:05
that we
0:08
really do kind of share brain.
0:09
And it's scary.
0:11
We will finish each other's sentences
0:12
or already know what
0:13
each other's thinking
0:14
- Yeah. - And that to the point
0:15
where it is just kind of scary.
0:17
But at the same time, it's
0:18
nice to reiterate.
0:19
It's nice to hear it.
0:28
What does my love feel like?
0:31
You're very... it's very
0:34
secure fortress feeling.
0:38
You know, like in a castle
0:40
where you pull the moat
0:44
up and you're secure,
0:46
it's safe,
0:48
it's reliable.
0:51
You know, you don't waver
0:55
much.
0:56
You know what I mean?
0:56
Like you don't have, like, great
0:58
emotional ups and downs.
1:00
So I think it's just
1:01
it really does it really is safe.
1:05
Like, it's safe for me to express myself.
1:07
It's
1:08
it's secure.
1:10
It's- it's very solid.
1:16
That would be my best description of it.
1:19
It's just. It's very reliable.
1:21
I can wake up tomorrow morning
1:23
so long as you're living.
1:26
I know that-
1:28
That we're okay.
1:29
I know that
1:29
I can step on this foundation, and it's.
1:32
It's not going to crack.
1:33
You don't fall apart easy
1:35
you're very capable.
1:37
I can rely on you, and I know it.
1:43
You show up
1:45
and you do things well.
1:49
You know?
1:51
Okay,
1:53
what do I do that makes you feel
1:55
that you can trust me?
1:59
I think one thing that is absent
2:01
in this world today is loyalty.
2:03
And you are, like, insanely loyal to me.
2:07
Like, everything.
2:08
But it's almost to the point of sometimes
2:10
I tell you,
2:11
like, honey,
2:12
we don't have to be attached at the hip.
2:13
But you want me everywhere
2:15
and every moment you want me with you
2:17
and there's no secrets.
2:20
There's no- we don't hide anything like

2:24
I have your phone password.
2:25
It's like if we want to
2:28
do anything with each other
2:29
or look at each other's stuff,
2:31
even though we don't have to,
