Just Teach me how to Wipe my own Tears

I know that life is difficult, and just like me, you are also struggling with things you can’t see. I understand that you are going through problems. That’s why, I’m not asking you to carry me on your back because I know that it’s not an easy thing to do. You don’t have to be superhuman and do the impossible things. Just walk with me and allow me to cry along the journey. Let me carry the pain and watch me while I’m fighting within.

Your presence is more than enough. I can make it through because I know that I’m not alone. I’m not expecting you to give me your own handkerchief just for me to dry my tears. Keep it in your hands because I know that you need it when you experience pain. Just let me see you cry, and please allow me to be there in moments when you find the courage to wipe the tears in your eyes because only then will I learn how to wipe mine.

You don’t have to bear all my burdens. I know that God won’t give it to me if they will just destroy me in the end. There’s a reason why He allowed me to carry this. I just need to be with someone who will remind me that better things are yet to come. In moments when I can’t see what’s ahead, please don’t hesitate to share the light inside your heart. When I feel so in pain, just be there and tap my shoulders.

You don’t have to solve my problems. You don’t have to dive in and go through this with me. I know that you also have so many challenges in life and I admire your efforts in trying to pick me up. But instead of treating yourself as my source of strength, just teach me how to get up on my own feet. Let me also see your struggles. Let me know your pain. Allow me to witness your healing process so that I’ll learn from you, and I’ll be able to apply what I discovered from your journey.

I’ll be okay because I know that you’ll be there to support me. Just let me take the difficult path. Let me acknowledge what I feel inside. I may not know when I’ll be fully healed, but I’ll continue to treat your ways as one of my inspirations to keep moving. I am learning. And the more you allow me to see the process that you’ve been through, the more I realize that there is still hope in life. Every time I see you struggling yet still keep going, the more I discover the strength within. So feel free to be vulnerable beside me. You can show me your weaknesses and the way you deal with them so that I’ll learn how to also manage myself.

Thank you for your concern. Thank you for staying with me even in moments when I can’t understand myself. Thank you for being such a good friend. Don’t worry because your testimonies in life gave me hope within. Don’t be afraid to share your problems or the negative things you experienced because that’s how I’ll be able to learn the right way of wiping my own tears. Your ways are very good reminders for me to never give up and keep going. Please know that your life is not an accident. You may go through so much pain, but I am one of those who truly learned a lot from what you experienced.
