100 Days Home 🥾 | Day 72
Sometimes control can disguise itself as caring.
We see someone we love struggling. We believe we know what would help and when they don't take our advice, frustration can creep in.
I'm learning that loving someone doesn't give me responsibility for their choices.
I can share what I see.
I can offer support.
I can care deeply and then I can step back and respect their right to choose their own path even when I would choose differently.
Maybe love isn't saying, “Let me show you the way.”
Maybe sometimes love says, “I trust you to find your way.”
And perhaps that's part of coming home too, allowing others their sovereignty while honoring our own.
