lucky

[blackcathollow]

you know some people really don't understand how lucky they are. I started my internship wednesday, and within two days some of the things that i've heard about have made me shudder. Also it made me see how lucky i was and how lucky all of my friends are. Yea, we have disagreements with siblings and parents but at least you weren't pimped out by

Oh god I know. It always made me quake, because the people I wanted to work with when I got my Ph.D. were either vets, victims of abuse, and then I decided I wanted to work with the elemnatary/middleschool set too. And the stuff we discussed in the classes makes you just want to hide from it, but you can't.... Because that's what everyone else has done, and that won't fix or help a damned thing.
Someone has to do it, someone has to face it, because if no one will - it'll not just continue, but we'll be just as bad for having enabled it.
Yet it's just so easy to lose your own sanity working with them, hearing them, seeing them, or to lose something even more important to your own self than sanity - your humanity and empathy.
