Protected: What More Can I Do?

In general, I want my friends to be happy. Don’t we all? So I don’t like people who do things to hurt them in any form and I feel extra frustrated when they do things that hurt themselves. What do you say to someone who won’t take the steps to extract herself from a miserable situation especially when it is an option? What do you say to someone who doesn’t know why they stay in that situation? What do you say to someone who refuses to realize that they have more control over a situation than they realize?

Now you might say “You can’t say anything, Cole. People have to learn their own lessons no matter how hard it is to watch them struggle.” And I know it’s true. And I try but when the person is always complaining about the situation, it becomes near impossible not to say anything.

It comes down to this: If you’re unhappy and you can do anything about it, then do it. And you usually can but if you’re too whatever to admit that, then don’t bitch about it every god damned day to me or anyone else for that matter. We don’t want/need/care to hear it. I know it’s easier to be the bystander and cast judgment. I know it’s easier to talk about just about anything than to do it. I also know that we put off things that are difficult to muster energy and we put our faith in things blindly. I’ve been there. I’ve done it. But the sooner you get out of a shitty situation and get over a miserable relationship, the sooner happiness can find you.
