Even though we differ in several ways I have always somehow felt a connection to Hemingway, not as a writer, but as a person. I do know he dealth with some dark times and depression (and without the help of modern medicine I might add). For some reason the algorithms keep pulling up quotes by Hemingway and they are actually pretty good. Here’s another one… this one kind of goes a long w/ my post on keeping a circle.
Ernest Hemingway once said: In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we crave is simply human connection: a silent presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us strong when life seems too much.
Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain or throw away my shadows. Just sit by me while I work through my own internal storms. Be the steady hand that I can reach for as I find my way.
My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me I’m not alone in this vast and sometimes terrifying world. It’s a silent reminder that I am worthy of love, even when I feel broken.
So in those dark hours when I lose myself, will you be here? Not as a rescuer, but as a companion. Hold my hand until the dawn comes, helping me remember my strength.
Your silent support is the most precious gift you can give. It’s a love that helps me remember who I am, even when I forget.
Although there has been debate about whether these words are associated with Hemingway, the message is one that has resonated with his line of thinking.
