Okay, yeah fine. Now, Imma let you finish…
But, you sir.
That wasn’t the point anyways. It was because I’ve gone through similar situations that I was trying to say I understood where you were coming from, but that you still needed to get out of it. To pick yourself up and become stronger. To not base the rest of your life on this one stupid mistake and be left in that miserable hole you’ve dug for yourself.
No, even that wasn’t the point. Though I wanted to get that message across.
The real point? I was getting too emotionally invested in the problems of everyone around me, that it was beginning to affect myself and my own happiness. I forgot I couldn’t change their lives or make decisions for them (even if I knew it to be the best). The point was realizing that I could not tell someone they were making a stupid decision or doing something wrong because it is not my place to tell them how to walk their paths.
The point was understanding that I would be a better friend by simply listening and being supportive. I would do more good just waiting for my friends to pull themselves out of their problems and celebrate with them when they do.
People should have the freedom to be their own undoing, to make their own choices.
On that note, I stand by what I believe in - that nobody has the right to say that his/her life is the most difficult. It’s probably not and even if it was, you wouldn’t ever know that for sure. So why look like a fool and say something so pretentious? I do not like being told that my life is easier either. Who’s to say? I believe that I have been through alot, but again, that’s my past and my path and it shouldn’t be judged by someone else. If anything is easy in anyone’s life, someway or another, it was fought for. It takes weak moments to understand strength.
To each their own, leave them alone. You are not better, you are not worse. You’re you, they’re them. Life is everyone’s curse.
