WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS WOULD YOU BE THERE TO SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME?

I just finished reading Metamorphosis, and it left me with some realizations. The story of Gregor hits painfully close to realities we often ignore. What struck me most wasn’t just his transformation (metaphorical) but how quickly his family distanced themselves when he was no longer useful to them.

It made me think about times in my life when I felt unseen, especially when I wasn’t at my “best” or most productive. In a world that often measures our value by our output, this story is a reminder of how fragile human connection can be. Many of us bend over backwards for others, but when we finally need support, we’re met with silence, or worse, rejection.

Let’s not lose ourselves trying to meet everyone’s expectations. Let’s surround ourselves with people who love us for who we are, not just what we can give.

May we also reflect on how we treat others when their “shine” fades. Do we stay, or do we turn away? #SugarQuoted
