To Be There for You
After hearing today’s news, I realized the importance of truly being there for someone and how it really does make a big difference. Who knows when they are going to be gone? Or how will I ever know how that person is feeling if I don’t keep in contact with them? What if he or she ends up taking their own life? I used to think that everything will be okay and that things are happen because that’s how it’s supposed to go. Now I know that everything will be okay only if I make an effort to make sure it does. I can’t always let things go and let it just flow. It doesn’t always work that way. I need to do my part and be an advocate for those who need help and who feel left out in the dark, especially for the ones I love and care for the most. I must be strong for myself and help others learn how to be strong for themselves so they have the energy to fight their inner battles. I can’t just sit around and solely focus on what I want and what I need for myself. I shouldn’t forget about people who have supported me and got me here. I want to be there for the people I care about. I have to be this person because I know I can, and I don’t want to lose anyone when I know I could have helped prevent it.
