“We who choose to surround ourselveswith lives even more temporary than ourown, live within a fragile circle;easily and often breached.Unable to accept its awful gaps,we would still live no other way.We cherish memory as the onlycertain immortality, never fullyunderstanding the necessary plan.” ― Irving Townsendwhen our hearts are fragile, they tend to crack easily, carrying heavier burdens..feeling more empathy and compassion than one heart can hold …do you try and harden your heart, becoming jaded, or do you learn first aid, knowing everything will be felt and possibly misshapen… do you learn to rely on your intuition, perhaps listening to the universe instead of carrying it all by yourself….you can’t change your basic nature, once compassionate always compassionate ….so it seems to me its time to learn a new way to handle issues and not become broken or even slightly cracked during the process…i ran out of band-aids, sutures and rubber cement until learning that i can only handle what i can handle…you can’t risk your own stability by trying to be all things to all people….to be the strong one, when the only things that are still intact inside you are your weaknesses….bottom line truly is this…if you are strong enough to handle your issues and the ones others bring you, then by all means carry on…but at the first sound of what appears to resemble a twig snapping off the branch…..hold their hand but please, keep hold of your soul for you to heal..…©Sleep In Side My Soula simple reminder…care for yourself just as much as you care for others ღk -- source link
