Blue Tuesday
Attempting to explain a personal situation/problem to someone who has never dealt with that particular issue is both frustrating and difficult. Since the other person hasn’t dealt with the same thing they are truly incapable of understanding the situation. We’ve all had people tell us they know how we’ll feel and all that silver lining crap but it’s just lip service even if it’s meant to be heartfelt. The vacant yet slightly concerned look in the eyes is always a dead giveaway.
It can make you feel crazy like, why am I the only one I know going through and/or dealing with (insert situation here)? Why does everyone think they need to offer a solution when they should just listen?
These are issues cannot be fixed by a friend, etc. it is something you have to accomplish yourself. In the end there’s no easy solution, no take backs and no shortcuts, just you, God and your loving yet clueless friends and family at your side.
They say, “Without pain there would be no joy”. I don’t know who they are but I am betting they are probably an eternal optimist or something of the sort.
