your oxygen mask
you know how on the airplane, they tell you to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others?
this is what i’m learning, but about life.
if you spend too much effort trying to help others, without helping yourself, you end up unable to breathe.
now. the thing about life though. sometime your oxygen mask gets knocked off. and perhaps even worse, sometimes it feels like it’s gotten knocked off, but it really hasn’t.
and the thing i’m still figuring out. is how to tell the difference. how to know when to help others. or when to help myself.
