Quiet, Powerful Love

A friend is the one who lifts you up when you are down. If you can't get up, your friend lays next to you and listens to you. A real friend doesn’t rush you, fix you, or judge you. They meet you exactly where you are.

Sometimes lifting someone up looks like strength.

Sometimes it looks like stillness.

And sometimes it’s simply saying, “I’m here. You don’t have to carry this alone.”

Those are the friends who feel like safe ground—

the ones who understand that healing isn’t always about getting up,

but about being seen while you’re down.

That kind of presence is a quiet, powerful love.
