A very wise and reflective post, mate. You put your thoughts into words so well.
This is why a few genuine close friends are so important. There has to be at least one person in someone's life to whom they can open up completely. Judging one's level of empathy is difficult though. Too little and you're cold-hearted and mean, too much and you are in danger of neglecting your own personal well-being. Obviously, the latter is much better than the former but is still important to be aware of. Balance, as in all things is important, when equilibrium is off, in all areas of life, it's a problem but I believe the universe balances things up, sooner or later, if you keep going.
Face the future with as much positivity as you can muster. The dreadful troughs you've been through will surely one day become magnificent peaks if you keep putting one step in front of the other.
Balance
Take care always
Thanks a million, I appreciate.
In reality, I have these rant posts when I'm often on edge and need a form of cushioning to get back. I think this is one way I managed to actually help, comfort myself and all that.
We truly need people we can talk to, I don't have a lot of them but I still manage to vent even if it means doing it with a post as this one..
Thanks you for the thoughtful idea about balancing it all out, we truly do need that balance and overall I'm still grateful and appreciative, despite it all.
Thanks for the kind words always, I appreciate them, God bless.
