On watching friends hurt
Posted on August 13, 2008
Filed Under bedroom stuffs, let's be friends, love letters |
This is about everyone and no one - this is even about me. See yourself, or not, it might apply to you. It might not. I might be wise, or just judgmental. Whatever, I’m me.
- And you deserve so much more than this. You deserve happiness of a heart-crushing magnitude.
- If I could, I’d take every single tangible burden away so that choices could be made and doors opened and shut.
- If you’re not happy to the point that most people know it, so do the people closest to you. If you’re willing to play with fire out of unhappiness, then you have to be willing to deal with the consequences. But know this: some of us are all too willing to play with fire, too. Even if, and especially if, it means that change comes about.
- I can’t imagine waiting until things get better for as long as you have. I can’t imagine looking at the calendar and saying, “only this much more time until I can leave.”
- Being lonely, this lonely, sucks. Being alone and lonely sucks more. Being alone and lonely and doing nothing about it means only one person can be blamed.
- I’m completely envious of how happy you are. How in love - and how your world is coloured by those feelings. I think a lot of people are, who really see you.
- If you don’t know by now that 25% happiness is not worth 75% sadness, then I can’t help you. But here’s what I can’t deal with…maybe you don’t want me to help you. And I’m not good at backing away when I’m not asked for.
- If she makes you uncomfortable, you need to tell her or back away and run. Because she will keep calling you and making you more uncomfortable and it will not get better, cuz that’s who she is.
- If you had any idea how much your girlfriend has bragged about what was in direct violation of your commitment, you’d beat her up a second time. Not that the first time was right, though.
- I miss you and I hate that you’re so stressed out. I hope you get some rest, not just sleep.
Can I make this stuff go away for anyone? No. But the compulsion just might kill me. I’m a fixer, I need to see a problem in logical terms and plan a step-by-step solution and then make that solution happen. I need to see my friends smile.
There’s nothing worse than seeing you cry.
Probably just as moody:
- Tellin’ All Yer Friends (yah yah) My new soon to be girlfriend, LunaNik, made up some stuff trying to dissuade my love but it just won’t...

Damn - That’s me and not me. But me.
And now I’m bi-polar.

Nice. I am in complete agreement with the 25% / 75% thing. Total agreement. I hate settling and admitting defeat.

“Being alone and lonely and doing nothing about it means only one person can be blamed.”
Crap. That’s me; only I’m surrounded by kids and grown folk and I’m still alone.
I remember sleep and rest…

I see me and I see not me in there. I think we’ll all see a little of ourselves and that’s why we love posts like this.
Today I saw a post-it note in the bathroom that said “This is the sign you’ve been looking for.” I moved it because I want someone else to see it and get the same feeling I got today!
Luff! <3

I can’t imagine waiting until things get better for as long as you have. I can’t imagine looking at the calendar and saying, “only this much more time until I can leave.”
That got me. It’s me and it’s not me. I’ve done this a lot over the past year and it’s not a good way to live. It sucks.
amazing words. thanks.

This was really great, ZJ. I saw Miss do this too. Is it like a meme? Are there rules? I would love to do it, too.
I see me, lonely
I see me, in love.
I see me, the root of the problem.
I see me, waiting for change that may not come.
But, at least I am finally ready to see me.
I missed this, you.
Love and peace

You are the type of friend everyone should have at least once in their life. You are a force for good.

That about covers everything! I know what you mean. I hate watching people be unhappy, and being stuck not doing anything about it. I literally watched my best friend get her ass kicked by her husband, right in front of their children, many, many times. For example. It sucks to know the people you love are sad!
