Some people keep telling you that they will show up if you should need them, while other people actually... show up.
Right now, in many different ways, often based on what's possible and on the circumstances, maybe even just with a short text message once in a while if this is what they can do at the moment, and yet they show up and keep showing up on a regular basis.
And that's the main point, really: Showing up is about indeed showing up, not about declaring ourselves ready to do so, someday.
[After asking yourself this question,
it could be worth asking yourself
whether or not they are the people
whether or not they are the people
you are also showing up for]
Interestingly enough, more often than not, the people who do always show up for us don't talk about showing up... they just do it.
They know that their actions speak louder than words and that healthy relationships are made of reciprocity, trust, respect, and accountability.
From now on, it could be worth trying to listen less to what people say and to observe more what people do, and how they are showing up for you.
