“they say nobody is coming to save you,
but many people have saved me,
even if they didn’t intend to.
it can be as small as a smile from a stranger,
a nudge from an animal, words from a writer,
the lyrics to a song, an observant friend.
we are all saving each other every single day
in tiny seemingly insignificant ways.” Iris Rose
What song or writer or person has ‘saved’ you when maybe they didn’t intend to?
How can you seek out words, music and support that will inspire you and help you through the dark times every day?
How can you fill your head with nurturing thoughts?
Today, look for all the tiny, insignificant ways that people ‘save you’?
Love this . And so true . If we stop , and notice .
I love this idea Suzy. Something as simple as a smile can save us. I feel I’ve had many songs, mentors, interactions with strangers, comments from strangers online, books, and medicine journeys, that have saved me. Having deep, authentic, lifelong friendships has been such a gift to my soul too. The books I read came at the perfect time to shift my perspective in life which I still refer back to. I wrote about them here (I wonder if you’ve read any of them?): https://open.substack.com/pub/soulwisdom/p/3-books-that-found-me?r=a9uns&utm_medium=ios
