Si vis amari, ama. Si vis pace, para bellum.

If you want love, love. If you want peace, prepare for war.

Do you have any siblings or only child?

Yeah, I'm the middle of 3 kids. I have a brother who is 14 months older than me. He was in the Marines for four years but now is going to college. I also have a sister 2 1/2 years younger than me. She got married when she was 18 (I don't usually recommend this, but it was the best thing for her!) to an amazing man. She also has the most precious 10 month old son.

I try to be supportive of my really close friends, but when I do they either take it the wrong way, close their feelings off, or make me feel worse than I did before, even though the problem has nothing to do with me.

Especially when you're trying to console someone through the internet and they just stop talking to you, and when you ask if they're still there they say "yes"

what am I supposed to take away from that?

Do you want my help?

Do I need to leave you alone?

Give me some kind of signal, don't just leave me hanging in the dark, making me think I've done something to make the problem worse. I really want to be there for you, but it's a two-sided deal. You have to be willing to open up about everything you need to. I just wished you realize that.
