Why are we told that expressing certain feelings are wrong when we are young to the point that when we are adults we feel shame when we feel certain things or begin to cry for one reason or another? Why are we told that we need to hide our problems? Everyone has problems and I think it’s important that we help each other through those and be strong for each other. Sometimes it might be hard to stand by someone not knowing how it will effect you in the future, but it is more important to be strong for the person that you love and care about.
Is it possible to be strong for someone else while still feeling free and being sensitive to your own feelings? Your own desires? Your own fears? I think sometimes it’s impossible to deal with both and a person needs to put their own feelings and issues aside to help a loved one…but because you love them it’s worth it….
I wish we could always help the people that we love and care about…but sometimes we can’t…sometimes we can only be there for them and keep on loving them. Especially with life changing decisions there is only one person that can make that call and that is the person at the center of it. But it’s important that we love them and support them in their decision because it’s their life, it’s as simple as that.
Decisions are hard enough to make without having to feel alone in the process. Loneliness is probably the most horrible feeling in the world…so hold the people you are in love with close and let them know that they are not alone, and that they will always be loved.
