I learned a really good lesson this week, one that i am sure I half learned a year ago. In the scriptures it talks about how we should morn with those that morn, comfort those in need of comfort, and bear one annothers burdens. As I was increasingly angry, frustrated and confused I could not do that. I didnt care and I just wanted to push people away. Monday I kind of hit the tipping point.
This forced me to back up and evaluate a few things, but mostly it forced me to the point I had to open up and talk to some of my really close friends and tell them what was really going on with me.
What I learned from this, is part of bearing eachothers burdens is sharing your own. As soon as I did, I knew I wasnt alone, I knew people had my back, and then finally I had a light enough load again that I can have there back. As people we are always far stronger when we unite together than when try to do it alone.
