Three words a wise man once said to me...

[darkestblood]

I have a tattoo around my left wrist of three horses being swept away by water and drowning. I had that tattoo put on my body to remind me, everyday when I wake up, that you cannot help someone who isn't helping themselves. I will bend over backwards for someone I care about who asks me to help them out, or even someone who is trying hard on their own, but most people just want to drown in their own misery, because its easier than trying. And those people, will drag you right in with them if they get a chance. It is always sad to lose someone you care about, or to watch friends go down different roads that lead away from you, but when all my friends from high school were turning into cocaine and heroin addicts, the best advice I ever recieved came in three words. Cut your losses. You can save a thousand people that are reaching up their hand for a little help, but neither you nor I, Joey, are strong enough to save a drowning horse.

This one seems to be trying hard on his own, and reaching up his little hand for help, thats the thing. I know that theres pretty much nothing I can do to fix him, and that he has to want to fix himself. I just wish i knew the right things to say, or do, or that merely saying the right thing could help. I dont know what to tell him when he cries out to me, other than i'm here when he needs to talk, and that i care what happens to him. I guess i'll just hope he gets through it on his own, and continue to feel helpless. I think thats all i can do right now.

p.s. thank you for calling the other night. <3
