Difficulties
I haven't posted in so long, many of you probably never thought you'd see a post from me again. But a journal is somewhere to put thoughts that you can't keep in your head, and I've got some right now.
How do you tell someone that they are making themselves miserable? How do you help someone see their own strengths, abilities and magnificence when they refuse to look? Is it so wrong of me to see suffering, and to try and correct what causes it?
I can't just sit back and say "I hear your pain, I see it" without trying to help. But how do I tell someone that they are only miserable because they made themselves miserable, when all they want is acceptance of their misery?
Perhaps it's time I accept that I'm not the only one who needs to make personal changes.
