I won’t lie, I can’t fix you…
I can’t sit here and tell you; you are beautiful, you are loved (even though you are) because it won’t make a difference – and that isn’t really what you need or want to hear when you are down.
I can’t stroke the ego, caress your sorrow, or dance with empty words…
I can not make you walk but I can walk next to you.
I can not tell you to stop crying, but I can dry your tears.
most importantly… I won’t lie.

But – what I can do is listen.
I can hear your story, touch your sorrow, hug your pain and I can be present.

I won’t give you long-winded advice or try to change you.
That “change” is in your heart and it is up to you because change actually needs YOU to fulfill the prophecy of your own being.
It needs YOU to recognize the inner workings of misery.
It needs YOU to fold, surrender, and quit fighting a battle that ended long ago.
It needs YOU to need you.

I won’t lie, I can’t fix you.
