I don't get that. Why hate being reminded that you're white? I feel like I sort of get it but not really maybe that is my issue that I have to deal with. I'd definitely trade out my black card for a white card if I could for like 2 weeks.

Why do you lot pride yourselves on being insufferable? The internet is a silly place.

It's just been that way for awhile now. Part of the norm.

I'm a big proponent of "if you don't put yourself first, nobody else will". There comes a time when you cannot afford to continue to care about the plights of the people who hurt you, because they certainly do not care about yours. It takes more emotional fortitude to "return to normal" with a person who has harmed you than can be expected of anybody. I am certainly not strong enough. If you need to cut and run, you do it.

This entire post hit so close to home but I don't know if I"m comfortable enough to talk about all of it or any of it for that matter but this year has been good for me. Going back to learning to put myself first instead of others that have decided it was a great job to take advantage of my kindness. They decided to take my kindness for weakness and regretted it when I finally put my foot down.

Yeah, there isn't much you can do. They have to hit rock bottom and decide to change their lives/come clean on their own.

The point is, you have a terrible way of helping. I yelled at WD because he's done nothing BUT come here and complain. I come here to talk about music and whatever else. Sometimes I'm weak. Sorry.

You might be annoyed but it's probably his way of getting stuff off his chest usually while drunk/high but it's still his process. Are you more understanding of his plight based off of what you are going through?

Just finished a series of phone calls to my parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, and uncles. My aunt has brain cancer... and I feel nothing... I feel like a heartless bastard. My aunt is sitting in a hospital bed dying and I feel nothing...

That's okay. Just support your family members who do care, and don't be a douche.

Sound advice that I was getting ready to type but saw your post.

That's how I am as well. When my mother passed, I felt like it was a good thing and she was no longer suffering knowing her condition for the past few years leading up to her death. |
