The Fall

The Fall

Friends are like the family we choose for ourselves. They help shape our journey and influence every choice we make. True friends stand by us in our happy times and our struggles, making life a little less heavy.

Picture this: If I was to fall, it isn’t the falling itself that hurts, however the impact when I hit the ground. Many believe that the fall is painful, but really, the pain comes from what we hit and how far we fall. With the right friends by your side, even an awkward fall becomes easier to bear. They are always ready to catch you when you stumble.

Falling in life can come in many forms—failure, heartbreak (emotional damage), disappointment, or even losing oneself. It’s in these moments that we truly understand the importance of those around us. The right friends don't just pick you up; they make sure you don’t fall too hard in the first place. They anticipate your struggles, offer their hands before you even ask, and remind you that no fall is permanent.

But what happens when you fall and there’s no one there to catch you? That’s when you realize the true value of having the right people in your life. It’s not about avoiding falls completely but having people who cushion the blow, help you heal, and push you forward again.

I have been blessed to have friends who have supported me in my tech journey from day one through every twist and turn of life. They are my strength and my shelter when the world seems too harsh and when my code is not running.

The distance of our fall depends on the people around us; their care and support determine how hard we hit the ground - Bossadi Zenith.
