If you would have asked me this 5 days ago, I would have firmly said no. However, as this was pointed out to me fairly recently, It’s incredibly clear that this statement is factual.

I always do all that I can to make people feel less alone, but I can’t fill anyone’s void. Everyone has to do that on their own, or else the substance eventually becomes meaningless.  Internal and often emotional voids are not like holes in the ground, because not just anybody can come along and push the dirt back in.

Everyone has to fill their own hole, while remaining hopeful that someday they will have a hill. Until then, accept the encouragement and wise words from others, paired with the actions that keep you motivated to achieve whatever it is you need. Just don’t get so caught up in what other people say/do help you, that you start thinking they were all you needed all along. That’s the tricky part.

Compassion vs Compatibility vs Companionship.
