This is so true:
"Check on the caretakers, your stoic friends and lovers, the rocks, the healers and the one’s that are “just fine.” Remind them they are seen."
@maloki It doesn't matter how strong we are, we are all entitled to be NotStrong occasionally.
There is a difference between being NotStrong, and being weak, and we need to remind ourselves of this.
I have to remind my wife (and myself!) that a marriage isn't 2 people being strong together, but 2 people taking it in turns to be strong for each other, and the same goes for friendships - be strong for your friends, and allow them to be strong for you in turn.
@stuartb Yeah, me and my boyfriend do this a lot. For me that's a sign of a healthy relationship.
@maloki Sadly nearly no one does in my experience. I really wish people would also understand that *everyone* has their own bag. And that its wholly inappropriate to compare past experiences of theirs and saying theyve been through worse.

@maloki @KitRedgrave I may or may not have some quotes on this topic.
Sometimes the strongest person is the most in need of help.
