It proposes an initial approach of acknowledging the distance and acknowledging personal fault without demanding immediate resolution or an apology. The core message emphasizes being 'open' to conversation, listening, and understanding. The video concludes with the metaphor, "If you can't be a bridge, be a lighthouse," suggesting that even if direct connection isn't possible, one can still offer guidance or a point of reference.

"I know there's distance between us. I know things aren't how we both want them to be. I know I've messed up."

You're saying, "What is a given?" Two is, "I'm not asking to change your mind. I'm not asking for an apology." And three is, "I'm open. I'm open to a conversation. I'm open to listening. I'm open to understanding."

If you can't be a bridge, be a lighthouse.
