This week, I found myself in two situations where friends stepped in to guide me through challenges I couldn’t handle on my own. The first was during a ski trip, where I foolishly thought I could take my two children—who had been skiing for a while—down a real mountain for a thrilling ride. It took mere moments on the icy slope to realize I was in over my head and completely unprepared to manage both the trail and my kids.
Just when I felt overwhelmed, my friend Mia appeared out of nowhere, gliding down the slope like a pro. She offered her hand, helping us regain our balance and navigate the parts of the trail that were safest. With her encouragement and unwavering positivity, we managed to make our way down the mountain. The kids declared it the best experience ever, and I felt a rush of relief mixed with exhilaration. I knew that, without Mia’s support, our day could have turned into a disaster, potentially shattering the confidence my children had built in their skiing skills.
A few days later, I was saved again. This time, while talking to another friend, Sarah, about my emotional turmoil in a toxic relationship, I felt lost and drained. Sarah, setting aside her own burdens, reached out to me and helped me sift through the thick haze of confusion surrounding my feelings. She firmly reminded me that if I truly believed in my worth, I needed to trust her perspective and take a stand for myself. I expressed my fears about not being able to face the situation alone, and Sarah offered me the strength I lacked, patiently standing beside me as I found the courage to voice what needed to be said.
Her unwavering presence and confidence grounded me during a moment of uncertainty, helping me reclaim my truth when I felt invisible. This week, I’ve realized that friendships are a balance of give and take. I’ve leaned heavily on my friends, receiving support in ways I didn’t know I needed—physically, emotionally, and mentally. They reminded me of my worth when I had forgotten it.
To my friends who have offered their help, I sincerely hope you never find yourselves in a position where you feel lost or overwhelmed. I promise to be there for you if that day ever comes, just as you were for me. The bravery it takes to lead others through their struggles does not go unnoticed, and your love and kindness will be repaid in ways that matter.
For those who have selflessly stepped in to help me, even without being asked, thank you. Your support means the world to me—more than mere words can express. This week, I was saved, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.
