too bad they don't sell time in a bottle

several people very dear to me are going through some bad emotional relationship crap, all in the span of about a week. i can't explain it. but i have been there and know how much it royally hurts; it's like having something pointy stuck to your back, but right in the middle where you can't reach it, and the only thing you can do is try to distract yourself with bad habits, talk about it incessantly or fight the urge to throw yourself off a cliff just to make it go away. unfortunately, waiting for it to dry up and fall off is the only thing that actually works.

however it upsets me that i can't do anything to make it go away faster for any of them. except sit here, wait for reports, and hope it gets better. real soon.

  1. well, you can take em on a little day trip, make them walk for miles and miles without water... then they'll hate you MUCH more than that other who?ever that's causing them pain... and this is your classic anger displacement tactic-

    So Ale's got it - all you need is a change of persepective.

  5. isn't there a less, "near-death-experience" way to do things? I feel like there should be...
