them

I hate it when I get told not to talk to them because I'm 'not strong enough'. Don't help them. Set your boundaries and make sure you're free and strong enough before you let them know they can talk to you.
It can't be like that. I'm not going to be strong all the days of my life. And sometimes, being strong for others, and letting them open up and trust me, allows me to remember my strength.

I know when it becomes too much. And I know how to handle it. I'm not laying my life and problems on them, and they're not to me. They're just opening up for support, and mainly, love, from me. They're longing to recieve love and feel love and just be loved. That's all it really is. And I'm going to continue showing them love. Because we all need it. And in the end, it helps me too. I'm going to be strong for them.
I need to be strong for them.
