Like anything else I’ve learned along the way…
Sometimes
People have to be
Left to their own havoc
No matter how much
I want to help
So they can
Marinate in the delicacies
Of their understanding
I’ll be here
To help shoulder
The world
When you’re ready

It can be difficult not to fix things for other people. I always just want to make things better, but it’s not always my job.

Your words are full of truth and strength.
Yup people have to be left to their own devices
sometimes to learn their own lessons, before we can
be there for them. Any one that has you on their side is lucky!

Thanks, Debbie.
People have to be ready for help, otherwise it’s usually a wasted effort and doesn’t help them at all.

Beautiful reminder. Gotta confess, I actually huffed a disgruntled sigh out loud when I read this... I do SO want to don my super cape and swoop in to the rescue!! But you're right.
Perfect expression of patience & love.

Thank you, k.
Refraining from helping others sounds so counterproductive, but sometimes it’s the only way to help.

Simply being there to support someone is a very powerful gift. So few seem to be willing to put themselves there. Nicely done!

Thank you, Confluence.
Putting the work in isn’t difficult when you care for someone.

This is so powerful. “Shoulder the world” my new favorite saying. Have a wonderful day :)

This is actually something that's been heavy in my mind lately as well. You want to be there for them...but they aren't ready. I get it

It can be very heavy. I’ve had to literally tell myself out loud “don’t do it” when everything inside me screams “do it.”
