@thrisvaquotes_: Sometimes the people who seem the strongest are simply the ones who have become very good at struggling quietly. They answer our calls, remember our difficult days, listen to our problems, make us laugh, and somehow always find enough strength to show up for everyone else. So when they suddenly become distant, we may assume they are busy, changing, or no longer interested in staying close. But sometimes, they are simply exhausted from carrying something they do not know how to explain. Real friendship is not only being present when someone has a crisis big enough to understand. It is noticing the quieter changes too. The unanswered calls. The shorter replies. The missing laughter. The person who keeps saying they are fine because they do not want to become another problem for someone else. You do not always need the perfect words. You do not always need advice or a solution. Sometimes love sounds like, "You don't have to be okay with me. Check on the friend who checks on everyone. Call the person who rarely asks for anything. And when someone you love does not feel like themselves, remind them that they do not have to disappear until they do.

just a little note to anyone who sees this:
call them. no matter how broken you are, or how seemingly stupid the thing is that made them pop into your head on a random Tuesday afternoon. tomorrow is not promised. even when you think it is.
with love,
a random stranger on the internet who lost her bestie to a stroke at the age of 41 this year

I called my high school best friend out of the blue a weeks ago. We had drifted apart and not talked for almost 5 years. He had lost his normal job of 2 decades and was considering leaving his family. We talked for 3 hours. I had to tell him to wait while I plugged my phone in. My wife came home and I just nodded. She left me alone. He said he better go. I said nope. We are gonna get you in a better place bro. When we hung up, I told him I loved him (my wife heard me) and he responded back and said me too. My wife hugged me and said you know you saved his life. Yeah I know. I’ve called him a couple times since and he said he feels better. Like the post says….call them.

I always feel like I'm easy to forget. It isn't self pity. It's just my reality. I never feel missed.

I’m an empath and go quiet when not myself, I need time to process things even the small things…a friend that stays would be incredible it’s the care taken even in silence that means so much. ❤️

What if you self isolate because you realized you have a savior complex. When people are in need, you just find yourself rushing to offer solutions? I realized this recently and began wondering if they should even call me when they feel down. I have also learned to not abandon myself while empathizing with others.

Sometimes the person you love isn’t asking to be saved. They just don’t want to disappear while they’re struggling. ❤️🩹
