We All Need Someone Who Will Take Care Of Us
We all need someone who will take care of us. But that does not mean that you are completely dependent on them to feel good. It’s just better to acknowledge that when you can not handle everything, when you have hit rock bottom, or, when things are not going very well, you need someone who will remind you of who you are and what you are capable of.
These are people who can remind you that you are more than just your circumstances. Mistakes happen sometimes, that’s just the way it is. These special people are like guardian angels who give us wings to fly over the remnants of our crumbling lives. People who want to take care of us.
They can also be like the voice of your conscience like your Timmy Grasshopper. The conscience that says if you fly too high and start to be burned by the heat of your own success. They are the foundation of your life, your balance, they are the yin of your yang.
When times are tough, we need someone to take care of us
It is usually not too difficult to find people you can have fun with. Having a drink, shopping, watching a movie or having a coffee with someone is not a big sacrifice. But true friends are the ones who stay when you may not exactly be the nicest company.
We are talking about times when you are full of tears and anger over the world. Afternoons when nothing you do, say or hear can make you feel better. That’s why in these times you truly value the integrity of your friends. That’s when you appreciate a helping hand to be able to pick up the pieces of your life, and carefully put them back together without you even realizing it.
We’re also talking about the long conversations that are full of accusations that you know you’ll not get anywhere. But the simple truth is, you have to let them go. We’ve also talked about times when you can laugh at how absurd everything is, and how scared you are that things could not have been worse.
It is this kind of good company that you can only sum up with the words true friendship . The kind that can overcome everything, the kind that changes everything. The type that is so hard to find, but which is also so necessary. True friends are few and far between, but they will always be there for you in good or bad days.
Good friends say it outright when things are going well
The probably least recognized value of friendship has to do with when things are good. That’s when the envy of people who do not really love you appears, you begin to feel too proud of your success. These are times when you think you are invincible. Success goes to your head and you start to lose yourself.
This is exactly when the special person in your life, your true friend, will really help you. They will show you the harsh reality of things, cut off the wings of your pride, and get your feet down on the ground again. True friends will always tell you the truth right in your face. They will do it even when it hurts, they know you may not like it, but you need it.
They know you can react badly to what they tell you. But they also know that you will not forget that they are really only concerned about your well-being. Of course, they do not do it to harm you; it is quite the opposite. They do it so that you will not fall so hard, or to help you gather enough motivation to finally take the leap.
That is why we all need someone who can take care of us. Because you are your own worst enemy when things are going very badly as well as when things are going very well. This is because you need someone to prevent you from losing control before you destroy yourself.
It’s because no one is perfect, and when you’re all alone, you’ll make your mistakes a lot bigger problems than they really are… Finally, it’s because a life shared with a special person is a life really worth living, from beginning to end.
