Someone to fall back on

Day 146 / 366

I realized a few days ago that I try to be the kind of person to people that I want someone to be like to me as well. I’m not sure if that made any sense grammatically but let me explain it further. I don’t get a lot of compliments, and so subconsciously I try and compliment people as much as I can. Not a lot of people praise me or even acknowledge that I work really hard. So whenever I see anyone put in a lot of effort I make sure to let them know I appreciate their work. I reply to people quickly because I want people to reply to me quickly as well.

Everyone needs a rock in their life. Someone they can count on to support them no matter what. Someone who gives them the courage to take any risk they want, assuring them that they are there to back them up if they need to.

I don’t think I have ever had someone like that in my life. That is the reason why I stress a lot. I understand what it feels like to have no safety net, no back up plans. And so I try to be that rock in many other’s lives. I let them know that I will be there no matter what. They can go on and take as much risk as they want. As I am going to be their safety net.

Maybe the theory is true that you reap what you sow. Whatever you put out into the universe, will come back to you one day.
