… a confidant
… a vacation

… more time
… less stress
… the answers
I don’t have any of those right now. Some might come later in the day, many won’t. The one thing I want most is the answers, not for my questions but for my friends who need them more than me. I wish I could give the answers to ease their minds and solve their woes. I don’t have them to give.
Not being able to give as much as is needed, as much as I want to give seems to be a common theme for me right now. It’s a difficult concept to convey properly. It comes down to “It’s not you, It’s me”.
As much as I love my friends, there are things that I can’t do… not right now anyways. I have my own demons to battle before anything else.
In the meantime, I ask my friends to be strong, and I try to be there for them.
