Helping the helpers
Many people come into my life offering to help me. I’ve realized that I am the only person who can help me live my unconventional life. I’m the only person who can give me what I need. I know more than they do. Those who come and offer help, I end up helping them, not in a way they typically register as help, but with my insight, resources, and influence. Because the help is not tangible, they are often unaware that I helped them. That’s where the imbalance occurs and the relationship fizzles. And those who remain in my life see and appreciate my gift beyond the social construct.
