“In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”
– Albert Schweitzer
When you need someone to talk to and cannot do it with your family, it’s the friends you turn to. The people who take your bullshit, you support you through the bullshit and get you out of the bullshit more often than not. They’re the people who stay with you through the thick and thin, through the rains and the summers. through sickness and health and everything else in between.
When we’ve been out of the house for a long time, we make our own family outside of the family we have, to get through life. And when the times are difficult, they come to your rescue. Even when they’re away they find a way to help you. I find myself lucky to have such friends by my side. And I hope you guys have them too.
When the times are tough, we need two things, someone to give us perspective and a shoulder to lean on, if you have both, no times are too tough to get through. However, some of us are too introverted to have top many friends or open up to the friends we do have. In such cases, writing it down helps. Write it on a paper, read it every day and one day it will all be a story and not bother you emotionally. This may seem really painful in the beginning but as time passes, you’ll be not be affected by it.
However, having a buddy or two by your side always helps. A person who can give you an ear without any judgments, someone who can tell you that what you’re doing is wrong when it is. They give you a different perspective than yours and help you make better decisions. Also, the people who help you during the hard times, deserve a toast when you are living the best part of your life. So never forget them when you reach the top.
Ending this post with a shout out to all the people who have been there with me through the testing times and helped me get out of it. Love you guys!!!!!
