There are a handful of people in the world I love so much that I would do anything in the world--anything--to take away whatever sadness or pain they're dealing with.
These same people, bar none, are self-sufficient, and deal with their shit on their own time in their own ways. And I'm not sure a single one of them knows how hard it is for me to back off and let them do just that, when every single instinct I have is screaming, fix this, you can fix this.
I can't fix anything or anyone. This is the hardest lesson I have ever, ever learned.
