This last photo shows a moment of personal growth for me as it was the first time I was able to base my friend and actually keep my hands at my chest instead of keeping my hands up ready to catch her (for when I would inevitably drop her, hehe). She is a brave lady and has put some trust and faith in me while helping me to push myself and help develop growth.

"There are people who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves."

That's a heavy quote. I can't infer if that is about people being less selfish or being more selfish and being lazier when helped. Hmm.

It is a heavy quote, right? I think it can be interpreted in different ways. I think one way of looking at it is like you say: people may have the tendency to become "lazy" if they always expect or rely on others to do things for them. But for a more positive spin, maybe the reverse can be said; that the more you push yourself the less others will have to do for you? Haha, who knows? Thanks for your feedback!

Hmm, that's what I think - it works in a zen like way of allowing either option to exist, just how we apply it - as I have seen both options be true in life.
