My friend David's not doing so well. He posted on his blog about some shit he's had to deal with. He asked everyone who read it to reply, so I spilled my guts. Reading his blog post and typing my reply almost brought tears to my eyes.
It just shows to go that life is a roller coaster, with ups and downs. Rarely a flat path, always bumps and curves. The trick in life is to accept the bad days with grace, accept the good days with joy, and reflect on your life without bitterness, but understanding. Understanding that not all your life will be spent in a happy bubble. Understanding that there will be shit to deal with, and dealing with that shit will make you, in the end, a better person. What doesn't kill you helps you, and with that sort of thing it really does. It gives you a new perspective, a level of empathy for your fellow humans. It helps you understand the people around you, and if you do that, life is easier. If you have people that you understand and that understand you around, they can help you through the shit, and can be better for it with you.
So, until I get struck with more deep stuff or the normal randomness, peace out.

This is all so true. It pains me to say anything to him that may make him go all sad and stuff (I don't like it when my friends are sad) but I find myself stopping saying it all the time. Its hard, but he's strong and he'll get through it. He's not alone, he's got us. It could be worse, he could have no one but Zac and Bobby to rely on, and that's no good (had to put a joke in there, even a bad one). And I was tearing up typing out my reply to it, too (he sounds so sad you almost can't stop yourself!). And can you believe Ms. Rohlman said we sounded like nuts by what we typed? The nerve of some people...
*runs up and tackles Ann* I love you so much, baby sister.
-crushes Kate- I luff you too, Big Seester.
