What a Horrible Couple of Days

Posted on the 13 October 2011 by Actuallystrange @ActuallyStrange

Wow. What a devastating past couple of days. I’m still dealing with the same situation which, instead of getting better has gotten worse. In addition, I found out that one of my friends is suicidal. They’re seeking help. I’m not going to talk about it more in fairness to this person; I’m just glad that this person knows they need help.

Everything going on has been terrible.If someone had told me around June that I would have sobbed my heart out three times by November, I would have thought they were crazy. I think it’s good that I can cry, though; it always makes feel better, even if the situation hasn’t changed.

The past couple days have reconfirmed what I already knew: God cares about me. He cares about what’s going on in my life and He wants to help me. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have God on my side; I’m just glad that I do.

I’m also glad that I have people in my life who care about me and who helped me deal with these problems. I used to wonder if it would be better to never care about anyone to avoid the inevitable pain of saying goodbye to them eventually, but now I know that the joy of having them in my life makes up for that.

I’d like to live off with two quotes that I’ve found especially pertinent recently:

“Unless you have been very, very lucky, you have undoubtedly experienced events in your life that have made you cry. So unless you have been very, very lucky, you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.” -Lemony Snicket

And:

“Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” -Unknown
