Watching

I hate watching my friends and family … my family really because i consider so many of my friends family … in pain.

It isn’t my pain and all I can do is watch. Be there when possible. Sometimes it is only possible to be the sounding board.

It is a challenge for me because I want to fix it. Heal it. I cannot. There are struggles people must go thru … without someone fixing them.

I get stressed about not being able to fix things but I know I shouldn’t. Life needs to play out. People need to deal with things the way they are able to.

Sometimes I need to back off. Just listen. Just be there. Not fix.

I’m trying. It’s hard. But I try.
