It has been almost a whole season since I have last written – not my intent. I have had so much to write, but have felt lost for words.
So much has happened that I am finding it hard to express my emotions in a healthy, constructive way. Would my words seem immoral or egotistical to the ear of my peer? Maybe that is why I tend to fall into the background when particularly challenging experiences arise.
It seems that when I do step out of the comfort of the lines, I am met with this unusual competitive point of view. Naturally, it is merely human behavior to compete – but compete for misfortune? This is all new to me. I do not wish to rival about who “has it worse” nor have never asked for that form of response.
You reach out to others to take comfort; looking for your friends to console you’re qualms. It is unfortunate that when you need friends the most, you have to re-evaluate their pose in your life.
“The best time to make friends is before you need them.” ~Ethel Barrymore
