Support from others can make difficult periods easier and good moments more meaningful, but it can’t replace the internal work that each individual has to do for themselves

This doesn’t mean kindness should disappear. Offering support, listening when someone is struggling and being there during difficult moments are all part of caring about the people in your life. There will be times, however, when someone repeatedly finds themselves in a situation that makes them unhappy but still chooses not to change it. Help can be given, suggestions can be shared and resources can be pointed out, yet the decision to act on them has to inevitably come from the person living that reality. Continuing to worry about how to fix something that they aren’t ready to change only leads to frustration, and it places responsibility in the wrong place.

A huge support for all of my goals has always been having a community behind me and making what I call ‘friendship dates’

In that way, we are supporting each other in shared goals during our date.

We are not only showing friends they are important to us in this way, but showing ourselves that we are important enough to choose the right people to be around for us and the right ways to use our limited time together.

If you do not feel at home with your friend just being themselves at their worst/best then y’all ain’t homies

When you stressed and got problems. The homies say we’ll figure it out, the friends and acquaintances say you’ll figure it out. You don’t need to be close to be a homie. You don’t need to talk everyday to be a homie, you just need to be a home a person can find and seek comfort/support in when they need it. Support doesn’t mean giving money or anything monetary it means being with them so they know they won’t be suffering and crying alone in their mess. It means showing them they aren’t fighting for themselves, by themselves.‬

If we just scan the internet all day for the latest doom and gloom statistics on COVID19, we will for sure, live in a state of panic and terror

And for an ENFP ((aka: (and I quote from the website): someone who lives for “the social and emotional connections they make with others)) — being holed up alone in a studio apartment is about as enjoyable getting a root canal.
