By knowing that you have the ability to be a moment or island of safety/comfort/happiness/joy for others who live in the same terrifying horrific cruel world

I love this sm 🥺 but what do u do when u don’t have that for urself? I’ve been that for ppl my whole life but never had that in return & as much as I want to continue to be that person, im so emotionally drained. Like I’m turning insane 💀

I think the best way to do it is in a way that doesn’t drain you, but instead fills and recharges you. Don’t overextend yourself and give too much away when you aren’t in a position to be doing that, be mindful of yourself and be a comforting presence whenever you can be, even if its in subtle small ways. You’ll know you’re doing it right when you find that its sustainable and not feeling like an obligation

In effect you’ll be acting as a comforting presence to yourself too, and you will in fact have it even if it isn’t coming from other people
