"Taking care" – it sounds so simple, doesn't it? But what does it mean to take care of someone?
The thing with caring for someone is that it's hard—very hard.
How do you care for someone who seems to have forgotten how to care for themselves? Their self-worth diminished, their self-love a flickering ember.
How can you care for that?
Yet, to withhold that care feels like a heavyweight, a burden that I bear upon my heart and conscience.
They feel like a burden that I carry, and that affects me—all of me; it seeps into every fiber of my being, affecting me, consuming me.
In this moment, on this day, this month, this year, I find myself unable to care for you or even for myself in this matter.
I guess take care?
