heartache

Its the old old question, I suppose. Are people more important than things like work? The obvious answer is Yes, but like so many other things in this life, saying a simple yes would mean forgetting that there are no easy answers for everything all the time. You'd use this answer for one person, and then forget all about it with another. Fair to the core, we all are.
Is it better to agree with everything someone else wants done, whether or not that is in any way compatible with how you want things to function? Especially when it means nothing great to them. There is no positive from the situation, but turning it down leads to a lot of negative anyhow. And what really hurts is that it feels like no one really cares about what you are going through in the process. Is there any sympathy anywhere? For just one moment instead of logical analysis of the rights and wrongs, is it possible to just say that it'll be ok, and that there is someone who will stand by you? Fine, no need to pander to maudlin depression, but once in a long while, when there is that need to comfort, why is there no one you can turn to?

very religiuosly i checked almost everyday since the time you told me to!
you know something, it is not good to dwell too much, sometimes try not too to think too much and instead of writing this why don't you try talking to people cause you know what hurts most is when ome reads something like this and then has this really strange feeling somewhere in the stomach, feel a little winded and then just numb, not knowing what to think or say.
i have said this earlier and i say it again, it is YOUR life! angsting is not going to help, it just makes things worse when you realise that there are these kind of issues, the thing is to either acept them and move one or to start saying no and maybe not to love so much. and the whole thing of 'why is there bo one you can turn to?' tell me something, do you consciously try to reach out to people? as far as my experince goes, not exactly. itis very difficult to get things out of you, you know you close yourself up and build this wall around yourself. you do not want to share and you do not let people see that you need comforting and even when you do it is always like 'oh i can take care of myself' tell me what do we do in such a situation?
btw i hope am not making a fool of myself here, writing this stuff whereas this happens to be a hypothetical kind of an entry!

look around....when you really need it, someone is surely going to be around...and not just close friends...even acquaintances can offer a shoulder to cry on......
