I would do anything to make you whole again but I can't change your past and only you can change yourself

Words have the power to heal, to hurt, to inspire, and to destroy. They hold immense power in shaping our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. When we see someone we care about struggling, hurting, or feeling broken, our first instinct is often to try to fix them, to make them whole again. We want to use our words to comfort, to encourage, to uplift. We want to do anything we can to help them heal.

But the truth is, we cannot change someone else's past. We cannot undo the pain they have experienced, the mistakes they have made, or the wounds they carry. We cannot erase the scars that have been etched into their soul. We cannot rewrite their story for them. Only they have the power to do that.

We can offer our support, our love, our understanding. We can be a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a source of strength. We can use our words to remind them of their worth, their resilience, their potential. We can help them see the light at the end of the tunnel, the hope that lies ahead. But ultimately, the choice to change, to heal, to grow, lies with them.

It can be frustrating, heartbreaking even, to watch someone we care about struggle to find their way. We want to shake them, to scream at them, to make them see what we see – their beauty, their strength, their potential. But we must remember that change cannot be forced. It must come from within.

So, as much as we may want to make someone whole again, we must also recognize our limitations. We cannot change someone else. We can only change ourselves. We can choose to be a source of love, of light, of hope. We can choose to be a catalyst for change. And in doing so, we may just inspire others to do the same.
