Disclaimer: If you’re expecting something meaningful from this blog then kindly overlook it because I’m writing my heart out just to see how many of you also feel the same.
We all go through rough phases in our life.We all have breakdowns after a certain point. We all pretend to be fine but deep down there’s something which bothers us. And that’s exactly when we want someone to say, I’ve got your back!!
It is such a common idiom but the feeling is so surreal when you hear it at your weakest point. You actually feel happy that someone is genuinely there to take care of you. Someone is putting efforts to make sure that you’re okay. Someone is trying his/her best to make you smile even when you don’t want to. And that someone can be your friend, colleague, special one, cousin (exceptions like parents are not included in this list okay? :p)
Past few weeks have been a bit difficult for me. I’ve never felt this pessimistic in my entire 23 years of life. Nevertheless, I always believe that a good life needs some bad days. Hence, I’m not going to make a fuss about it. But all I want to say is I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by those beautiful souls who I can count on for life. They are very few but I’m glad that distance, less communication, silly fights have never affected our bond.
The support people often want is the recognition of their distress. It doesn’t require you to fully understand a problem or provide a solution. Basically a person’s presence is all you need. So when a loved one tells you about challenges they’re going through, they may not need you to jump in and help. Just let them vent their frustration or disappointment and give some soothing acknowledgement in return.
Candid ways to say, “I’m always by your side”
Isn’t it funny, each one of us is already aware about these things but we still choose to turn a blind eye at times! Now stop smiling and start making your close ones feel special! Okay, let me help you a bit. Here are some phrases which are very basic but you will be amazed to see how much positivity it can bring in someone’s life.
- You really impress me
- I believe in you
- I’m always happy to see you
- Remember when you….
- Look, how far you’ve come
- I know you’re capable of more
- You might not realize this, but…
- I understand why you’re feeling so stressed right now.
- I’m there for you
When you validate someone by using such types of expressions, you’re letting them know that you see and understand their perspective. A loved one trying to manage emotional turmoil may have less mental capacity for dealing with their usual responsibilities. So try making a nice gesture no matter if it’s a smaller one because little things always matter in life.
Emotional support isn’t tangible. You can’t see it or hold it in your hands and you may not notice its impact right away, especially if you’re struggling. But it can remind you that others love you, value you and have your back.
So tell me in the comment section who’s got your back? More importantly, whose back do you have? Oh common, share it…he/she also deserves an appreciation post for once 😉

Going through the same phase, my friend and one of my colleague really helped me in this tough phase. I know they can’t change the situation for me but having them by my side acknowledging what i am trying to say, how am i feeling is more than what I can expect from anyone. Idk how will i repay for all the efforts they did for me. But they really got my back.
Going through this post really made me emotional and your writing is beautiful.
Best of luck
