For if either of them falls, the one will life up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.This verse is both heartening and, to me, bittersweet. The heartening part is to know how much of a help having someone with you can be. For something as simple as accountability, or even just not wanting to let that other person down, a friend is key.
The bittersweet part for me is that, over the past few years, I've found my list of friends steadily shrinking. Several have moved away, or just consumed with life to the point we don't really connect anymore. Being an introvert, it's hard for me to connect with people to begin with, so this slow loss has started to concern me. However, I don't know what to do about it.
