“Lately I’ve been thinking about something. You know that song called Happier by Bastille and Marshmallow? In it, the main voice is wishing for better and happier days for another( in one interpretation.) I think we as people do this too. You see a loved one, friend, even a coworker, going through something hard and you wish they were happier and weren’t struggling in the thick of it all. I don’t think that always helps though. The thoughts can bog you down a lot. Remembering that being “here” is all you can do is important and enough. Wish them well and think fondly of them. Help where you can and that’s all you need to do.
As for the ones struggling in the thick of it though, I won’t say “ pick yourself up”, but what your seeking may not come from outside. Sometimes no one can help you the way you want and it hurts. But If you abandon yourself there truly won’t be any person who can save you. You need to show up for you too. It’s a tall order don’t get me wrong. But be there for yourself too. Those around you can only do so much. I pray you get through it.
