I am an avid proponent of meaningful communication. We all need to know how to do it effectively, and chatting about our lives and our place in the world and in the Universe, is a sure way to make that happen.

I've spent many years studying human nature (partly because it's fascinating, partly because I'm a writer and must know how to build characters, and partly because it helps me in my own personal evolution). Communication is one of the most common problems among HUMANS, as well as us lesbians, and is problematic only when we don't learn to communicate well.

Thus, making an effort to communicate yourself and your concerns and ideas, leads to deeper understanding and more profound connections with others.

So don't be afraid to say what's on your mind.
