“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
As a friend, I'm never tired of your life. I hate when my friends say, "I don't want to keep bothering you with the same issue." If it weighs on your chest every day, SPILL. Call me, text me, anytime, any day. I'm here.
it’s okay to sit with things, to be still and wait until making a decision, answering a text, email, or call; it’s okay to be with what is happening in the moment, to be present for this existence, without feeling the need to rush into the next thing.
it’s quite alright to… be.
We all hurt people throughout life. This is a part of being a flawed human being. The difference between someone's who's flawed and someone who's toxic is the desire to be better. And the ability to take responsibility for our actions.
4 things to say instead of giving unsolicited advice:
- “how can I support you?”
- “do you want me to just listen?”
- “how did that feel for you?”
- “I can’t imagine how difficult that is”
Healthy relationships don’t feel like “fairy tales.” They’re built through uncomfortable conversations, emotional vulnerability, and grace for each other’s humanness. Healthy relationships take work and a willingness to step outside of our ego.
IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND ASKS IF YOU WOULD STILL LOVE HER IF SHE WAS A WORM, JUST SAY YES. SHE WILL NEVER BE A WORM. YOU WILL NEVER ACTUALLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE GIRLFRIEND WHO THINKS YOU WOULDN'T LOVE HER IF SHE WAS A WORM AND SHE IS MAD
