For The Love Of…Your Safety Net by Artemis Crow

I had a recent health scare, one that I found out today was not a problem after all. *relieved* But I had to wait for two weeks before the diagnostics that proved I was fine. To say it put a damper on my holidays is putting it mildly, but I did have one recurring thought while waiting.

Hold tight to your safety net. That person, or people who you’ve always helped when they’ve fallen? Let them pick you up, dust you off and hold tight to you when you stumble. It doesn’t matter if it’s your health or your emotions, let the people closest to you help you when you need them.

It’s easy for me to square my shoulders and carry on as if nothing matters, telling myself that this, whatever it is, will not get me down. But caring for others is supposed to be a two-way street. When you help, allow yourself to be helped. When you give, don’t be afraid to take.

I believe by reaching out a hand and asking for comfort, you’re honoring the friendship, the love that has been fostered. If you only give, and never ask anything of that person, what are you saying about your love for them? Your relationship?

I hope you had a lovely holiday surrounded by your safety net. Cherish them…

May your words flow freely,

Artemis
