Beside, Not Fixing

7 min

Love often reaches for advice, answers or a story of its own. Here, care takes the quieter shape of sitting beside someone who is hurting, facing the same view and resisting the urge to make them better. A reflection on the dignity and relief of being accompanied without being studied, pressed or fixed.
