Lighting The World

So, now we have the somewhat conflicting topic of being happy for others. I myself struggle with this more often then not. I, however, had quite ample time and experiences to proudly say, now I rarely have to think to hard about acting as though I am glad for someone. Comforting people when you yourself are hurting is another interrelated topic and action that is difficult to master as well. I am better at this one though, at least better at doing this than the prior.

I find many people are often very...insulted when I comment on expecting them to be supportive of a friend  when they would rather not be. But my motto is that you put your friends first. No matter what. I know that not everyone has these standards, but this is one thing that I am willing to say that adjusting to this 'side' or 'way' or whatever you'd like to refer to it as will be the best choice. I am also one for choices and rights. Though, in my opinion, putting your loved ones first is always the choice to make.

I make time too be there for my friends no matter what. I constantly stress to them that they can talk to me about anything and that I will always be there for them. They can say anything to me and talk to me whenever they need to. I have spent quite a lot of time perfecting this. Part of life I have found is making the best of it, not just living it. Helping someone, and better yet helping the people that you love is part of what makes life worth living. Isn't it? What fun is being selfish? That makes life easy, and easy is boring! 

Not being there one hundred percent for your friends is a shame, that it is. You may busy. That's fine. You can be disinterested in their problem. That's alright, too. What isn't though, is using those as an excuse not to care for your friends. Caring for people is the light of the land, it's a star. When someone feels that they can come to you for anything, that's a great feeling, isn't it? Giving love and have it returned, that's what makes it all worth it, aye? And yes, do be answering these in your head.

I can say that I understand being tired of making everyone else happy. But, could you really say that seeing them so happy, or at least content, doesn't make you happy or satisfied as well? Is comforting someone when you need comforting hard? Yes. Do you always want to do it? No. Should you do it? Of course.

Being a beacon, a light for some else, somehow brings you a shimmer of light as well. It's worth it, at least it always has been for me. Always.
