The sun sets on another day…
It was a beautiful sunset as I walked outside and watched through the trees as colors sprayed through newly budding branches. I felt as though the world stopped for just a moment as the quiet closed in and the colors enveloped us all. It was quite stunning.
I think secrets are interesting. I find that often things roll around even when nobody says anything.
I was wasting time watching several reels and came across a bunch in a row that focused on friendship. With that in mind that focus was built around the idea that a friend is measured by what they say when you’re not around. For me that was very deep. There are those friends that will lift you up when you are there or when you are not. There are also those friends that don’t necessarily focus on you if you are not around. I know it’s all weird.
What’s the point today, well it’s easy. All I’m going to suggest is to focus on those people that lift you higher even when you’re not around. Why does this even matter? I will tell you. Years ago someone told me that I was held high in a situation but I kept hearing strange rumbling in the background. After asking some questions and paying attention I found that two people I considered friends were being less than earnest behind my back. The only reason I found this was because one person who was a cursory friend brought it to my attention as they were concerned. When I looked into it, it was frustrating. Mostly because I trusted and I lifted those people in the background. Yes this was during COVID, but that shouldn’t have mattered. What you say behind a person reflects more on who you are than what you say to them. It is why I try to lift people up always, because the people that I believe in should always be lifted.
I never really did focus on it too much, I just moved on. It was necessary.
I still believe that there are people who will lift you up always, find those people and don’t let anyone else bring you down.
So as the sun sets on another day, I believe there are lots of good people in the world. I hope you believe it too and I hope you find those people that drive you forward every day and help you be the best person you can be, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and I’ll lift you up where you belong…
