My friend said to me: As a friend sometimes all you can do is advice, its up to the person to take it on board or not. Today I realized I actually stress myself for other people way too much. I guess there is a fine line between caring and being too protective of people around you, but I just want er'body to be happy. I kinda know how parents feel now.
I have been through so much in my short 19yrs of life, and many of the things I went through, I can openly say I had a choice on whether to go on board with it or not and I deeply regret them. My friends have been with me through it all, so when they make certain mistakes it really gets to me, because its like you should know better. Sometimes people tend to think " yeah but that was you, it might be different for me" but you can only afford to that in SOME situations, other times you just KNOW, this isn't going to end well.
I don't say things to control people's lives, I don't say things without actually giving it SOME thought, I'm not crazy to not want you to be happy. Not just my friends but even to you Tumblr buddies, I say them because I actually care. Somethings are just supposed to be avoided. You don't necessarily have to go into trial and error. Somethings are not worth risking. Like your salvation. We as Christians cannot put our salvation at jeopardy. Is anything in life really worth losing eternity with God? So when you do certain things and people advice you, surely analyse who gives you the advice but also think about why the person is advising you. Be true to yourself and THINK.
