tonight was a good and bad night. good cuz i finally got to spend some much needed time with a few friends and we defintely had some good times catching up, but bad cuz - well, not exactly bad, but more sad - cuz i got to see into someone i love really struggling with some tough decisions in life...
have you ever seen someone you loved just really hurting inside? it tears me up inside to see people i care about worrying about things, or unhappy with their life situation. oftentimes, i find myself saying if you dont like a situation, "fuck it and move on", but sometimes it's really not that simple. many times i've found that i over simplify things (not that i dont over complicate things too!), and many times i forget that everything isnt as easy as we wish it could be. take a person's life for example, their living situation, a person's lack of opportunities, etc. sometimes you're just dealt it. sometimes it's beyond your control, and it takes all of your power to deal with it. sometimes you find yourself between a rock and hard place with absolutely no moving power or room. those are the times when you wish with all your heart and might for the strength to go on, yet for some reason you dont feel as if you're finding it. you feel as if there's no one who understands your plight, and you feel all alone...a lot of the time you actually are. no matter how much friends try to help they never fully understand what you alone are going through, and it's not really much help in the end.
being a friend, it hurts me so much to see someone in that position. it's so sad to see someone you truly love feeling so defeated. it's hard to endure even seeing a person you care about in pain, let alone feel like there's nothing you can do to help it. all i can offer for my friend is my prayers...my prayers, my support, and most importantly my love...sometime's that's all they'll ever need...
Dear Lord,
Please Lord watch over my friends - all of them - near and far...bless them Lord, and grant them the strength to overcome all obstacles they may be facing, and help them Lord, to know You are there with them as am I.
I ask this in the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit...
Amen
