You can’t fill someone’s void. You can’t “fix it” for them, or even help them, no matter how desperately you want to, no matter how much you love them, if they don’t want it (and I mean, really want it, not just saying they do).
It’s one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn—and am still learning!
This is so true. Compassionate people will completely fall into that void if they don't walk away.
It is a tough and tricky lesson to learn. May we all increase our wisdom and boundaries without losing our compassion and resilience...
