So many things are happening suddenly and all at once to people I love and care about. The what is not important; it's the fallout that concerns me. I'm struggling to help them, but I'm afraid now that I can't help enough while keeping my own life together. Where are the others in their support systems? Are they all dealing with similar lifestorms and cannot therefore afford to extend their hands? It absolutely amazes me how people react when those who are supposedly close to them find themselves in trouble. You would expect to be able to count on your closest friends and family members to rescue you when your need arises, but I'm here to tell you that my observations in life have definitely not supported that expectation. It seems like people run from those who need them most. Those who could help the most actually help the least--and sometimes they become part of the problem! It's supremely disappointing to see the smallness in character that ensues in these situations. As human beings living our messy and surprisingly complicated lives, we can pretty much count on having troubles strike us. How confident are you that your support system will be there for you? If I were you, I'd get a backup plan in place right now. I'd hate for you to be disappointed the way my friends and family have recently been. In the meantime, take comfort or warning in the truth that what comes around, goes around.
