Summer

Summer...We all look forward to it. The time when there is no school. We get to spend all of our time online or doing things other than studying. It's supposed to be a good time, full of fun and hanging out with your friends. For the first time ever, I actually hate summer.

June was an awful month. It was terrible from start to finish. It was full of drama, arguments, and tension. I also had a few RL issues going on during it as well, which didn't help things any. When June finally ended, I thought things would eventually improve. Boy was I wrong.

July had a pretty terrible start itself. For some people, it may have started out good, but for a few of my friends, it's been terrible. I won't go into any details, because that's their business. However, it seems everyone's mood this month has been bad. I try to be a good friend and figure out what's wrong, but it's hard. I sometimes never know what to say to make them feel better. I always think I might make things worse.

I am in no way complaining about any of my friends who have been in a bad mood. I just feel that I'm not being very helpful when I'm talking to you about your problems. I tend to worry over things way too much, when I probably shouldn't. I love it when people actually talk to me about what's bugging them, though. It means a lot to me. I hope that me saying all of this doesn't make any of you stop telling me your problems.

Is it bad that I feel this way? If I know that a friend is in a bad mood, my mood tends to go down a lot as well. I always feel like such a hypocrite when I tell my friends not to worry when something is bothering me, because I worry so much as well.

So, yeah, this has been on my mind a lot lately. I love my friends more than anything (I don't care that they are online friends, they still mean a lot to me.), so I really hate how they've been so depressed lately.

Even though summer has been full of drama and bad moods, it's still been a good summer overall. The main reason being my friends. I've talked to them when I had problems, and they made me feel a lot better. We've had loads of fun talking to each other. There's been man awesome conversations that I will never forget.

I feel like I'm rambling on here, and that I'm being too mushy and all of that, but I don't really care. This has been on my mind for a while, and I had to get it out.
I REPEAT: I am in no way complaining about anyone here. Nobody had better feel bad about this.

I know exactly what you mean by this and no, it's not bad to feel this way. Unless I'm pushed absolutely over the edge, I also tend to tell my friends not to worry, but at the same time I quick to let people vent to me and try my best to help them. Sometimes I get explanations and others I don't, and that makes me feel bad because I'm not able to fulfill my duties as a friend.

adam i love you even if we're not friends (well, i think we aren't anyway)

The thing is that you tried. If you left them to wallow, who knows what could've happened? You showed them that you care and 9/10 times out of ten thats what matters. Even if you didn't sort out the problem at hand, at least they know that someone out there cares for them in some shape or form and thats just lovely, to be honest. So no, to answer the quote below it, it's not a bad thing to be sad when another person is sad for sad reasons, it's called empathy and you seem to have a great connection with it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's definitely difficult to help them if they don't tell you anything at all.

Oh, wow, Chris. That really surprised me. That makes a lot of sense, actually. It just made me feel kinda weird to feel that way. It seemed kinda stupid. Glad to know that it isn't stupid, though. Thanks.
