778 || the aging doggy

My pup is getting old and DAMN it's been tough to watch her change. I am having to address my ability to let others struggle for their own wellbeing - because I have a tendency to interject and "help" simply because I am uncomfortable watching others struggle. We're all learning, though.

Also, don't be afraid to be the neighbor that checks in - even when it's a painful check. You never know how powerfully important that interaction can be to someone.

"While spiritual bypassing may be less harmful than some other coping mechanisms, it can still lead to negative outcomes that hurt an individual’s ability to grow as a person and fulfill their potential. It can stifle emotional development and even stand in the way of fully realized spirituality."
