RE: You're an Overcomer.

“The truth is that you can never be in their shoes no matter how hard you try to fit in”.
This is absolutely true, unless we have walked a mile in someone else's shoes, we can't even begin to really understand or comprehend how they feel or what they may have been through. Even then, every circumstance is different. When someone says “I know what you are going through,” they may mean well, but do they really?
There are those too that when you tell them of a situation you are struggling with, want to come back with a similar or worse story, though I am sure oftentimes they may genuinely want to relate and emphasize, it doesn't necessarily help the person. Most times people just want to be heard, and the kindest thing we can do is to listen.
"Helping others in need can do a lot for your heart".
Indeed, being kind to others brings blessings in return for our actions.
Thank you for sharing your heart, your kindness diary, and your thoughts. I am so grateful you are part of the kindness community. You touched on self-kindness too; the importance of that cannot be overstated. Thanks again, and I apologize for the delay in responding. Have a wonderful and kind weekend!
That's right. We can never fully comprehend what others have gone through in life. It can't be done!
I like your question. Do they really? That's the truth of the life we live. Not everyone is genuine.
Yeah, that's a normal thing to do in my country. It is like they are competing with the battles you are fighting by telling you theirs is worse, and this may sometimes help. But other times, listening is the best remedy.
Yes, it does. I appreciate your stopping by to read despite the surgery. I hope you are well.
Have a wonderful weekend, too.
