Can I hide here for a little while?

**pocoturtle** · 10-13-2009 10:29 PM

Little things are adding up, and I'm starting to become depressed. I can't go down one road without hurting some people, and I can't follow my heart, because I know there would be too many consequences for my actions. I feel like I'm bending to people's expectations, but if I do what I want to do, it'll end up even worse, ending up in an embarrassment I'll never be able to escape.

So.. I'm just going to sit here.. keep on living my life, and try not to think too much about the future.

Awwwwwww!!! You poor dear!! *hugs for you* Is there any way you could give us any more details? I'd really like to help...

It's nothing really big, but little things can wear me down after a while, like a grain of sand in my sock (insert fitting analogy here).

One thing is that a friend who lives an hour away expected me to visit them this weekend, but my roommates are having a party that I really want to go to, so I won't have a chance to go see my other friend, and they're a little depressed about it. I know I'll see my friend soon, but I hate disappointing them this weekend.

I can't really go into detail about the other thing, but essentially I'm falling for someone I shouldn't, and they almost certainly have no interest in me. But I feel like they could be just the right type of person for me, and it hurts not being able to see if there is potential for us in the future. I feel like the entire situation is just eating away at my soul.

Another thing beyond my control is that my best friend / roommate will be moving out soon, and I'm worried that I won't be able to live with someone I can be myself around for the next couple of years, at least.

I think I just get stressed too easily, but it's hard to be optimistic right now.

Aww, I know just how you feel. Still, you never know, perhaps he does really like you. Anyways, you can hide here as long as you want, although hopefully you'll find the strength to come out into the world and solve whatever problems you have.

I'm sorry to hear of your problems. I know what it's like to feel like even being positive is difficult. Hard times are... well their damn hard ain't they

. But if the past has told me anything its that every hard time comes to an end, then only good can come. I guess "the waiting is the hardest part". But time heals all wounds, and also remedies tough times.

You can hang out here for as long as you'd like.

Yes honey, you can hide here with us all you want. We'll take care of you.
And being "stressed too easily" is quite normal for us.

1. I'm sure your friend will forgive you...
2. Ugh...that's horrible! I went through that myself...it was terrible. How can I help...? Umm...you might have to just let it pass...I tried to persue it, and oh boy, that didn't turn out well...I, too, shall not go into detail, but it was horrible...I'm so sorry, honey...
3. It's very hard to adjust to new people. And it doesn't help when they're living with you right off the bat. Umm...just do your best. That's all anyone can really ask from you...

Do your best and be yourself. This will all be over soon...

Thanks, guys. I'm feeling a bit better. I've had a chance to sort out my thoughts and recharge my soul. :)

I don't even need to know you to understand this situation.

And this is what I have for you:

Never consider anything in life that doesn't apply to you, and never experience any second guessing due to you following your heart/dreams/goals. There is nothing wrong with ANY of those things, and any resulting actions--be they negative or positive--shouldn't get in the way of you doing how you want to do.
