Something that I’ve been reflecting on due to the events, shifts, and revelations of the past week is our conditioned tendency to “fix” others who may be hurting.
I’m not quite sure how else to put this, but when I express sadness it doesn’t mean I’m asking you to “make it better”. If I needed help, I would ask. Just be with me right now. That’s the kindest thing you can do. Don’t attempt to change how I’m feeling. I promise, it’s not your job.
So many of us have been conditioned to try to “make it all better” for someone ASAP, and maybe sometimes that is the case. The person IS looking for someone else to lift them up.
But I also think it’s important to just honor how someone is feeling in the moment.
Let’s not try to make someone happy just because seeing them sad makes us feel uncomfortable or even guilty. It doesn’t need to be this way. Accept their sadness as part of the journey rather than viewing it as “wrong”. It’s not.
Maybe you can’t see it now but I know someday you will. The heart breaks that crushed you into a million pieces have been your greatest blessings. It’s okay to let go and crumble from time to time. Let what needs to die, die. Shed what needs to be shed. Stop resisting what hurts.
Give yourself the chance to feel what you need to feel without guilt or shame. Please. Give yourself an opportunity to rise like a phoenix from your own ashes. And give others a chance to do the same.
Being happy 24/7 is overrated. And god forbid, let’s not forget being “positive” all the time. It’s not about positivity, it’s about authenticity. Positivity doesn’t mean shit if you’re simply suppressing what needs to be felt. It’s merely an illusion.
So please: Just feel what comes, be observant of the lessons, and grow from them. All of life comes in cycles. Do not put pressure on yourself to always be happy. Just be. Be whatever you are right now. Because that is perfect.
