Sometimes people are in complete "meltdown mode" but they are "to-ing and fro-ing" so much they aren't looking in the mirror long enough to notice their condition or that a total collapse is on the way.
OR ☝️
maybe they do realize what's going on but they don't know how to make it stop.
It's like they are spinning on a merry-go-round and feeling sick but it's spinning so fast they are just holding on for dear life.
Their false friends, people riding the "gravy train" on their coat tails and the pleasure seeking "Good-time Charlies" in their lives are going to do nothing to help them. They are just exacerbating the problem.
You may be just the stabilizing force they need, even if you're just a temporary or brief one. And you may be the only one because true friends don't show up that often anymore.
Keep in mind, you have to be pretty stable yourself if someone is going to lean on you or you will both fall.
Always tell them the Truth, listen to them, be willing to put up with some garbage while they're cleaning up their lives and make sure they get Home safely.
Unconditional love in its simple, steadfast, elegant glory. 😊

What sparked this post was the song "Drive" by The Cars, which came out in 1984 when I was 18 years old (Oops❗️🤭 Accidentally outed my age on the internet again). It came up on an old Playlist of mine today and I remembered that when I first heard it I thought, "That is the oddest song (and video) about true love I have ever heard."
What do you think?
(You'll need to wear sun glasses for this one. It's a Ric Ocasek Thing. 😎)
