#Helping

[cowboyjen68]

The day before Christmas Eve, with the help of many, I met a new lesbian friend off of TikTok. She needed a new car battery and I know how to change a battery and found out she was only an hour away! Got to meet an elder and break out my tools and get her some much needed supplies! My community, on and off line, is nothing short of incredible. New battery installation complete!!

Some days self therapy is cruising different social media sites looking for people requesting "Send Pet Pics" because of bad days and fulfilling that request hoping it helps.

How To Support People

Sometimes, when someone is struggling, we default to giving or offering what support we would want in that specific situation. We don’t mean to, but it can cause harm to someone who we are trying to help.

So what can we do instead? I would ask people: “How can I support you?” But it was often too open-ended. My loved ones didn’t know what they needed.

Mental, emotional, and physical are support types that can be used to give personalized offers for support! Sometimes, people need specific offers of support, usually a mix of types.

Mental support could be:

Facts

Wisdom

Constructive feedback

Solutions

Advice

Solutions

Resources

Mentoring

Guidance

Pros and cons

Advocacy

Reminders

Logical steps

Planning

Some examples can look like: - “I complied resources for you” - “Let’s make a support plan together” - “When I was in a similar situation, I did…”

Emotional support could be:

Validation

Venting

Commiseration

Solidarity

Affirmation

Listening

Check-ins

Distraction

Space

Comfort

Praise

Motivation

AITA?

Some examples can look like: - “Tell me what’s bothering you” - “I think it’s reasonable that you feel this way” - “You got this!” - “Do you need space?”

Physical support could be:

Housework/chores

Physical touch

Mutual aid funds

Body doubling

Acts of service

Gifts

Flowers

Food

Cards

Transportation

Some examples can look like: - “I finished your to-do list for you” - “I made you your favorite dinner” - “Let’s do this together” - “Can I make a fundraiser for this?”

We all have various needs and capacities, but I hope we can all find creative solutions to help support each other. Keep caring.

All Anakin ever wanted, was to help. All the times (that I caught) Anakin helping people. Long post, buckle up. I have feelings about the prequels.

Anakin casually helps and saves JarJar, with bitey remarks. 100% in character.

Don't go to your ship new friends, I can help you get shelter.

Hobby project for Mom? Sure thing!

Let us share our meager resources with all of you, basically strangers. It's a Skywalker thing.

Let me casually risk my life for you please!

I will never be over these two. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Rushing to help.

Please, let me do your job for you.

Not technically helping, but diffusing her anxiety with a bit of humor.

Gentleman vibes.

Mom's in trouble :(

He just can't help himself, can he?

THE couple everyone. A very, like attracts like situation.

Oh hi Master, we're here to help you.

Good job.

Nevermind me, I'm dying here. Oh, Obi-Wan's in trouble?

Always there to lend a hand. (Too soon?)

His first impulse. Always.

Obi-Wan: "Anakin, the mission, leave me." Anakin: "Lol, no."

You heard him.

Bonus, because, well.

It's a habit at this point.

Oh sweetlings, it will be your undoing.

Find part two here!

Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.

if you've ever...

...helped someone out of the goodness of your heart, then know that it is just as okay for you to accept help too.

did helping someone make you think less of them? if not, then extend the same kindness to yourself.

asking for help only makes you self aware and open hearted. let yourself get the help you need, without judging yourself ✨

@not-poignant 's The Raven Prince. Sometimes you read a story. Then move on with your life. But in a chaos of things you suddenly understand that some characters are now travelng with you. So this one made a crow's nest in my head. And couldn't be more grateful for it. Thank you, Pia! <3
