If I can help one person

I went for a walk with one of my housemates today. She always kind of rants about the same stuff but I kind of thought

how we are all coming from different directions and dealing with things differently so I just tried to listen and be helpful.

I tried to be supportive of her - did the best I could.. I don't know if I helped but I tried the best I could and we went for a nice long walk.

I don't really know how to be helpful, I mean I just try to validate her thoughts and feelings then tell her about parallel things that I have experienced and also helpful discussions from therapy that seemed relevant.

I have friends and family who listen to me. I am really grateful for it. If I can be helpful to my friends and family or at least one person

that is making my life worthwhile.
