Drama Show
So this has been a crazy ass week for drama. Not so much directly in MY life. But practically everyone around me seems to be experiencing some troubling stressful situations. Its literally felt like living in the midst of a soap opera. Hearing shocking news from every direction and having absolutely no control over any of it.
Trying to help is about as useful as shouting at the glass screen while the events continue down their rocky path, completely oblivious to any input you might have on the situation.
No all you can do is be there while the events play out and hope that in the end the people you care about will pull through and be able to move on with their lives.
I've always hated the feeling of being helpless. Every time I see a problem my natural instinct is to find a solution and fix it. I don't like having to stand idle and let events unfold on their own. I suppose that the definition of having a control issue.
It's definitely something I've had to learn to deal with over the years. But its never easy. I often have to concentrate on just listening rather then inserting my opinion while people are talking to me about their problems.
So needless to say, its been kind of a rough week for me. Obviously its been Nothing in comparison the people around me going through their shit. But it literally hurts every time I hear what they've been going through and I know that nothing I can do will help. All I can do is sit there and tell them I'm sorry.
I really look forward to being able to look back at this rough time in everyone's lives and be able to say "That sucked at the time, but look how much happier we are now". I know everything eventually works out. It did for me, I know it will for everyone else too. I just have to stick around and let it happen :P
Good Luck guys :)
