Show up when you can

12 January 2022

Hi everyone… it is just 12 days into the New Year and I must say it seem like 6 months already. The stress from school, the dip in crypto all around and every other thing in between just makes me feel some type of way but don’t get it wrong i am thankful for life. God has been wonderful, I hope everyone is doing okay today I hope we are all winning everyday at life.

So I read @seni ‘s article where she talked about showing up for people when you can. People like friends, family or your loved ones. I felt really connected to everything she talked about because for some days now I have been feeling really disconnected from myself and my friends. It’s hard to keep up with everything, balancing so much in such short time take tremendous energy.

Yesterday a close friend of mine sent me a text complaining bitterly as to how neglected he feels.. in his words he said “Levi please lets keep up with each other, let’s stay in touch there are so many things that are making me depressed these days I want to talk to you about it” I replied “Bro I am here for you anytime any day just let me know when you want to talk”.

Now I may not have offered him money or anything extravagant but listening to his problems and hearing him talk about things that keeps him worried 24/7 is something that I feel will help him out eventually. I am not the perfect friend but I make sure that my friends and family are okay emotionally.

Eventually we had a chat and I gave him the advice that I could. I made sure he understood he was not alone and that I would always be there if he needs me.Now I am not the best at giving life advice but I can try, I want to listen to my loved ones , I want them to tell me their problems or things that brother them I want to be available to help them when I can and I feel like everyone should be like that too. Yes, you might not be able to offer financial help but just showing up for people you care about, listen to their problems, give them the best you can, trust me that goes a long way for real.

if there is one thing I have learnt in life, it is the fact that when people go through life challenges they usually don’t want to feel alone or feel like they are the only one going through such so if you can offer advice and share experience with them trust me they will feel better instantly, tell them things like “ it will get better my friend don’t worry” these words would go a long way to reassure them of life. From today please talk to your friends check up on people you haven’t spoken to in a while, let them know they are part of your thoughts and prayers. You guys may not speak for for a while but just let them know you are always there for them if they need you.
