If it came down to lets say, my family VS. my life, I'd have to think about how it would effect both parties. If it was the (always used) my life or theirs, of course I would pick for them to live a happy life if it meant giving up mine...but, I start to think about how their lives would be without me in it as well. Would both parties be just as devastated if I were to give up my life for them or I said I wanted to keep mine without them ? Of course. So, I don't think there is ever a right or wrong answer within this question. I know that's not what you're looking for, but you have to stop and think...Could you even really answer (to this topic that I stated specifically) not knowing what you actually could do to make it better for both ? I know I sure as hell couldn't.
I don't think it's possible to make things better in a situation such as that. It's a bad one, and the only way to make it seem better is to act like it is better, but in reality, you know it's not.
Exactly. Kind of like what you went through with you friend Steven right ? (Not meaning to bring up bad memories) You tried to be strong for yourself and others. People saw you as Josh, not the depressed emptiness hiding deep within Sorry if I was blunt or my comment was offensive. I just know what it's kike to loose someone, even if it's a physical or emotional loss.
It's not offensive, because you actually pointed out how I felt at the time. It's hard to be what everyone wants you to be when you've got something that heavy weighing in on your mind. My thought process was to partially keep my mind from going into what would be considered the depressed state. In actuality, I tried to be happy just because being negative really didn't ever help me.
I know how that works, that's why I can point or see it out very easily. It's not easy to hide who you really are at the time. Although, you did the best you could.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I tried pretty hard. I just figured bringing everyone else down wasn't my job.
