You ever just feel like you're a rotten friend? God knows I do right now. Whenever one of my friends is going through a rough time I just feel so completely useless. I never know what to say, and when I do say something it feels like it's never right and I'm just making things worse. I do always try to listen but sometimes listening just isn't enough. I dunno perhaps I'm just being too hard on myself? I just hate when my friends suffer and the feeling of helplessness I get when they do.
So I heard today that my friends Jason and Joanna broke up. It's kind of weird because they had been together for seven(!!!) years. I just can't imagine what it would be like to be with someone for seven years and to suddenly have it fall apart. Do you just wake up one day and decide you don't love this person anymore? How the hell does that work? I guess this hit me sort of hard because seeing them together for so long always gave me hope that there is such a thing as true love... but now I don't know. But uh anyway I've rambled enough for now.
