You have to help yourself before I can help you

You know what I hate? I hate when someone says, "Oh, don't worry about it. It's totally fine!"
Even when it isn't. It's just another way of secretly saying, "You hurt and upset me, but I'll just pretend it was okay so we can move on with our lives."

Really? Really, you thought you could just shake something like that off and pretend it was nothing? Try and save yourself the emotional pain?

Hell, while you're at it, you might as well sell your voice to Ursula, too. Maybe then you could express your displeasure and hurt to me in a different way. Instead of just writing it off like it was nothing.

News Flash! I've learned the hard way that things never just 'go away.' They just don't. It's a proven fact, like that Daddy Long Legs aren't poisonous to humans and that bears are carnivores.

Alternatively, hard, difficult-to-explain-and-understand issues are the reasons (or parts of them, anyway) that we struggle in life as we do. Waving problems away doesn't get rid of them, not for a minute.

No. It just prolongs the suffering. The pain. The emotional and mental and even physical heartbreak.

So my question is, what are you waiting for? Why don't you just tell me? Nothing can get worse at this point...nowhere else to go but up, right?

I ask you this: why, when you can end the suffering, do you still choose to feel pain?
