"We truly underestimate the importance of emotional support and how much it matters. Being there for someone will probably be the truest and most beautiful thing youâll ever do to someone when they are at their lowest and ugliest version of themselves.
Being aware of how much someone can be a prisoner of their own thoughts yet letting them get comfortable with opening up to you, reveal their most complex, messiest emotions and feel safe enough to bare their soul to you is honestly one of the few things in life you should never ever take for granted.
Remember that it takes a lot of strength to be vulnerable. It takes a lot of effort to unzip the hidden parts of you. It takes a lot of trust to know that someone might be ignorant to your traumas yet you still leave your emotional baggage right in front of their doorstep.
Kindness is a great form of intelligence if you ask me. Your constant trials to communicate, listen, trust, give and support are all what it takes you and them to evolve and grow. Itâs necessary to understand that listening doesnât have to be followed by an advice, or a positive statement, or âhey youâre just being too dramaticâ, not even by making it about you or by basing it on your own life experiences.
You have to absorb what the other person is trying to say in their own language, be empathetic and validate their feelings. Be genuine and gentle. You have no clue how much you could be just that one reason why someone is healing."
"I am doing okay" doesn't mean life is perfect. It means I still have days when I feel empty inside, but I manage to fill my mind with positive thoughts to overcome it. It means sadness is still around the corner waiting for me to let my guard down again, but whether I let it embrace me once more, I will have my ways of getting through it. It means there are still instances when I feel so messed up, but I tend to pause, these days, for a while, breathe, and rearrange things inside my head. It means I am happy, but it doesn't mean I no longer have such lonesome nightsâI just learnt how to face it properly.
"Everyone is always going through tough things, the irony in it is that everyone thinks what theyâre going through is just as hard as what you are. Life isnât about surviving this, itâs about understanding this."
