5 years ago I was diagnosed with early stages of cervical cancer, which meant I had to have a smear test every year. As of today, I have been officially cleared and won’t need another checkup for 3 years😭🥳
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin'
When you finally get the last bit of proof that makes you realize you need to let go and move on, but apart of you is stuck on how y’all were before everything.
a lot of adults don't better themselves??? and have no intention of growth or healing??? they’re just living their lives with horrible communication skills, lack of emotional intelligence, selfishness, and hurt feelings FOREVER?????
empathy burnout is real, after all these years of understanding the people around you, trying to put yourself on their situation, putting others first before you, and now you're drained and have became indifferent.
Once upon a time I got this overwhelming urge to text a friend of mine. Just to ask how he was doing. I was in the middle of folding laundry and my gut told me this text absolutely cannot wait. Not one moment. Not until I'm done with the laundry which would have taken just a few minutes. The text had to go right now.
Turns out he had been moments away from committing suicide. He had everything ready. Important papers laid out. Note on the door instructing anyone who came looking to call the police and not enter the house themselves because his corpse is in there.
He changed his mind because I sent him a text. Just asking how he was doing. A little ramble how busy I had been lately and we should go get some coffee and catch up soon. He changed his mind because there was still one person on this earth who cared enough to ask how he was doing.
Remember to reach out to your friends. If your gut tells you must reach out, do it. You might end up saving a life with one simple text message.
