"Sometimes you just have to let people go their own way and learn their own lessons at whatever cost and wish them the best."
I think that really sums it up there @whatamidoing. It's probably one of the most difficult things to stand by watching someone going down a path that you are certain will not support their current issues.
But in the end, that path will serve them in one way or another. We all have a journey and we all learn in our own ways. The best we can do is share our experiences and offer a hand if it is needed.
We can lead a horse to the river, but we can't make it drink the water. That's just part of what this life thing is all about!
I'm really sorry to hear about your friend but I do appreciate you sharing this as I know it's one of the more difficult things to deal with.
It sounds like you're a great friend and who knows, maybe one day that friend of yours will come back to you and say something like, "Thank you for your wise words, you were right."
On a more uplifting note, I wanted to let you know that I featured you in my recent post! Check it out here: Steemit DISCOVERIES with @axios [EP 2]: Steemians Worth Following!
I can only hope she will come back and even if she doesn’t say thanks, I hope she can see then what I see now, that the solutions are within her, not outside of her.
Thanks for the feature! I’ll go check it out. And thanks for the support for deadpost!
Anytime my friend :)
