the perks of being a wallflower
"Charlie, don’t you get it? I can’t feel that. It’s sweet and everything, but it’s like you’re not even there sometimes. It’s great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn’t need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can’t just sit there and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can’t. You have to do things."

interesting... although I do feel in some friendships, some people are better equipped to be a shoulder. When I have those friendships where I feel a little tired because it's like I'm always the one who's listening, I think that maybe God placed me in their lives so I could be the listener.
ReplyDeleteBut perhaps I could serve them better if I wasn't always like that... hmmm...
