 Today

I asked a friend for help. A dear friend whom I have known to brave some of the most tumultuous past couple years with problems similar to mine, except they were double fold since not only was she in a similar situation with her FIL, but currently her own father is coming out of a most grave episode and she's in it deep, living it everyday, looking at it all stare her in the face while she goes on being the amazing woman she is, handling her job, her family, her life.

I told her that I didn't know the right words, the right things to say to console or help someone, that I didn't know how to not feel so hurt or depressed or sad, that I feel clueless on this path.

She told me "Don't worry. face it, It will make you brave and wise. Stay strong."

I'll try, but fuck I'm gonna cry a whole lot.
