Okay, so just a little while ago I got off of the phone with one of my close friends. It was a long talk. 198 minutes and 26 seconds to be exact. (My phone has a timer). But yeah, the person told me something that I hadn't thought of before. People need to get hurt to know what to do. I don't know where that came from since I wasn't preventing them from being hurt but they decided to tell me that. I suppose I was tentative in telling them a subject that I believed would hurt them. However, I already prepared to tell the person in a different way then over the phone and they wanted to hear it now. Which I was not ready for in the least. I don't know, maybe they were right. Maybe I shouldn't try and make sure that people don't get hurt. I've changed though ya' know. Now I just give a warning and if they decide to continue on that road then I'll support them in the best way that I can. As in, I don't like smoking. However if it makes you happy then I'll buy you a lighter. Simple as that. As a friend it's not my job to stop you from doing something but rather to just offer help no matter what you are doing. Is that right? I think it is. Not everyone wants to hear what you think and they usually aren't asking for your permission to do something. Rather, I think they just want to have someone to bounce an idea off of or just have someone listen to their problems. No advice given or asked for. Yet, do people really want to get hurt that often? Really? I mean, I do the things I do to prevent hurt. When someone tells me to not protect them from getting hurt or even worry about something I do hurting them, well, it's disturbing I suppose. I care about my friends very much so I just want to offer a helping hand, not lead you like a five year old. I just want you to be happy and not get hurt all the time. You're not nearly as strong as you say you are. Just let me help okay?
