If a person is sharing his/her personal secrets with you,
they do it with trust and not hope of gaining sympathy or support.
You really don’t need to feel their problems.
Just be with them and assure them that no matter what the future holds, you’ll be always there by their side in all times.
"When someone opens up their soul to you, they’re not seeking your sympathy — they’re offering their trust. You don’t need to fix their pain or carry their burdens. Just be there, fully and truly. Sometimes, presence speaks louder than any words ever could."
Today, I want to speak to you,
my brother.

You who are feeling down,
who life is hitting hard.

You who feel alone,
or have a broken heart.

Maybe you've been left for someone else,
or what you're searching for hasn’t been found.

She didn’t deserve you,
and what you're looking for is just around the corner.

You’re not alone,
there are many of us,
with the same thought.

The thought of ending this,
and ending the suffering.

But through all the bad,
there’s always a brother.

A brother with a big ear,
to listen,
to what is resonating
inside of you.

I want you to know that you are strong,
and that I love you.

This is just a fall in life,
and soon you’ll tell it,
as something overcome.
I want you to know that we are many in your situation,
and we haven’t given up.

This battle is ours,
and we are winning it.

Don’t drop your hands,
you are worth a lot,
this is just a delay.

We will all get through this together,
and we will come out strong.

The burdens of today,
are the wings of freedom,
for tomorrow.

If you’re feeling bad,
just talk to me.

My lover is soft. My lover is gentle.
My babe, she holds me like a dying child, and when I ask her,
           “Am I taking this from you?”,
                                    she tells me,
                                            “No. I am giving it to you.”
