Helpless

Watching someone you love hurt their body and refuse to seek help could possibly be one of the most difficult things to deal with. How do you convince someone that the way they are living... well they won't be living for long. The only word I can find for it is helpless. It is despair, sadness, pain, all with no relief in sight.

I'm not going to give up the fight. Other people have cast her aside but I won't do it. I don't want to live with regret, with "if I had only...". I know what it feels like to feel you have no one to turn to at your darkest hour, to have no comfort, to have no one there to help brush off the dust when you fall. I will be there for her, she deserves better than what life has handed to her. I will dig deep and find the strength within me that helped me pull myself out of the darkness. I just wish I knew what she needed, wish I didn't feel so helpless.

People are as helpless as they choose to be. Humans are the only creatures that can look at themselves and choose there own destine, despite there past. I wish your friend the best of luck but the only person that can trully help her is her. Positive back up does help people head in the right direction. Good luck!
