Words

Words....

People love to give them out - makes the speaker feel as if they are doing something helpful and relieves them of their guilt for not actually being there. But these only seem to leave us (the recipients) lonelier than ever. It's so easy in this day to do. We respond with a text instead of a visit. A message instead of a phone call... Human contact is so very important, especially after it has been used in such a wrong way. We need a reminder that human touch is good. We need to be close to someone who will not injure us in order to believe that the harm we'd suffered was not the world, just a piece of it.

Words aren't what we need!

We need a hug. Someone to hold our hand. Someone to go for a walk with. To steal us away from this hell that we're in and give us a chance to recuperate. To just listen, put their arm around our shoulders, and tell us that it's all going to be ok - because they won't abandon us. We need hope. We need a reason to believe that the world is still good. That it's still worth living in..

And we need a plan. A goal. Something to be working towards.



Everyone seems to say "you're strong, you can get through this".... But it gets so flipping exhausting being strong all of the time. Sometimes we just don't have any "strong" left and we need someone to step in and be that for us.
