steps 5 & 6 : distant ally

Singer:sylvan lacue

when i started like really trying to work on myself

i started just like dropping a bunch of people and homies and shit 'cause. just because of the whole doing the same shit all the time

like kicking it on the same porch and like drinking and whatever

whatever. but then i also realize that. how do i say this. just going back to being in ally-ship and camaraderie \ with people who. when you drop those folks

you stop being there for them also

and i think recently i've been learning how to be that ally

but from a distance to where it's safe enough for myself also

you know what i mean? where i'm not dragged down with you

but also like fuck with you

solidarity

love you

here for you

here for your work if you're working on yourself

but if you're not

also

i'm. you know what i mean? i think that middle ground has been hard for me to find

'cause even just talking about how we need camaraderie

we need that foundation

but if you x somebody else out

that's kinda fucked up. it's important to build other folks up

i think for me

like

i'm my biggest issue. like

i give

i give

i give

i don't know when to cut that cord. i think for me

like mentally

that's like what i battle with within. i think it's just finding that

like what you were talking about

finding when to cut the cord and when enough is enough basically without feeling like you're just being selfish for doing that

and that's what i struggle with the most
