Support

Support. We all need it, whether we want to admit it or not. I myself am an extreme loner.
It’s not that don’t like other people. Or that I don’t sometimes feel lonely. I just struggle to understand others.
Years of disappointing experiences has taught me to be cautious. Dare I say, withdrawn?
What I have learned recently is that sometimes you have to be vulnerable. Put yourself out there. Be open to the possibilities.
Will there still be some negative folks out there who feel the to rain on everyone’s parade? Yes. But they are far outweighed by the folks who willing to offer support.
The important thing, at least as far I can see, is that you are willing to return that support in equal measure. There IS strength in numbers.
The more good people you offer your support to, the more people there are to lend a hand when you need it.
It doesn’t have to be anything big. In either direction. A kind word can a long way when someone is struggling.
I’m challenging myself to keep putting myself out there. To lend support to others. To be a force for good in this world. I hope you’ll consider doing the same.
