love them in that moment

when someone blurts something out at you
that feels random
maybe an overshare
and what we love to term "awkward" these days
you have been given
a golden chance to Love
someone's heart.
probably the way you have needed the same love and reassurance at some point.
love them in that moment
whatever they shared
has been sitting on them for a while
even if they said it jokingly
it has been causing some sort of pressure
maybe just the pressure of wanting to share and not feeling like they had a place to do so
or maybe it was the pressure of pain
or what they considered wrongdoing
Bless it.
They saw in you a moment of relief
Let them know through your smile
your eyes
your words
your touch
that they are ok
and you heard and saw them
you don't need to to hear their entire life story
you don't need to give yourself away to them.
Just see them
Love their hearts
Give thanks for the opportunity
to be human with someone
and move on.
be a blessing
