We can help them carry their baggage, but they have to be strong enough to conquer it.

However, as we go along in life, we realize that it doesnt work that way at all.

The truth is, it was never our responsibility to fix, save, or change them.

Just like with ourselves, their darkness should never have been our burden to carry.

We can help them carry their baggage, but they have to be strong enough to conquer it.

After all, you cant save someone without damaging yourself with their broken pieces.

you might only love them, but even love alone isnt enough to heal them from their own darkness.

The only way theyre going to change is if they want to for themselves and nobody else.

Even as a significant other, thats never something youre supposed to carry for them.

Unfortunately, this doesnt happen.

In reality, no amount of love can ever change or heal someone from drowning in their own darkness.

They have to be the ones to swim against their own demons.

Otherwise, theyd be inflicting pain on other people in the process of their healing, including you.
