today shows that it really is true that the best things in life are sometimes the worst mistakes. of all the problems that i've had i have to be thankful that from it i can offer real advice to one person, advice that can be heard and understood. even if i can't help those who need it, i can always help those who are willing to accept it.
it feels really good to be able to listen to someone, and not only relate, but feel the same, give advice, and work towards a higher understanding. i almost can't believe it, i don't even know the guy, but from what i told him i honestly think that he can learn from my mistakes, and those that have been made by certain people i know in similar pitfalls.
the trouble with people, is they're almost all the same. at least the people the both of us know... i think he feels the way i do when i had been so innocent, before i took a couple bad streets, and hopefully he'll never have to experience what i have. he's definatley been through enough... i've taken his situation and turned it into a worse one many times, i know how bad he must feel.. but now he knows what paths will only make it worse. i definately don't know what would make it better, i haven't done that, but at least he can try to keep out of trouble.
