2012 so far
I’m really sad. Personally, 2012 has been pretty good so far for me. But a lot of my friends are having a really bad start to their year going through difficult situations. And I feel so helpless that I can’t do anything about it. I’m actually tearing up because I feel so pathetic sitting here and not knowing what I can do to make them feel better or if I should even try to talk to them at all because I’m afraid of prying. I just feel like a sponge when it comes to sadness. Not the “ugh my upper middle-class republican family doesn’t understand me and my life is average” kind of stuff. Idk, I know I was like “no time to be sad” but when a lot of really close friends are going through tough times, I really can’t help BUT feel sad. And I’m trying to keep a smile on because I know some people need to see that. All I can provide for others is an open ear and a helping hand when asked for one as well as a prayer.
