“I’ve heard that no matter what you’re going through, someone has it worse. I don’t like that statement. I’ve never liked it. It’s emotionally dismissive, and it teaches us our personal struggles are insignificant. So we hide, and we refuse to cry out, and we try not to burden others with our pain. Someone might have it worse, true. But we are all broken, and we are all human, and we are never alone.” ~ Unknown
It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to lean on people and be leaned on. It’s not weak to be vulnerable and it’s never annoying to be a friend.
Speak up. Be ready to listen, too. Be genuine and honest. Your circle will always understand and your circle will always make time.
