Say what brings you closer, not what pushes you apart
Say what brings you closer, not what pushes you apart ❤️🩹
Devaluing:
How can you think about yourself when others are having such a hard time?
Support:
I'm glad you're safe and that you're okay.
Devaluing:
Our parents went through far worse!
Support:
This is something no one can be ready for, but I'm with you.
Devaluing:
But it doesn't even affect your life!
Support:
I understand how hard it is to take in what's happening right now. For all of us.
Devaluing:
So what, you didn't get to finish setting up your apartment.
Support:
Yes, we all dreamed of a completely different life and never wanted this.
Devaluing:
Someone out there has it much worse than you right now!
Support:
I'm here and ready to help you.
Devaluing:
This is only the beginning of our problems.
Support:
It won't be easy, but we'll get through it all together.
