Going the wrong way... Everyone out there who feels like giving up, who feel hopeless, powerless, or as if they have hit rock bottom, you are not alone. I talked to my old friend Amanda the other day, as she told me about how she crashed her car, lost her job, and broke up with her boyfriend. My heart sank as I tried to imagine where she was coming from, and as I tried to think of anything I could do for her. We use to be pretty good friends, until she started hanging around the wrong people and doing her own thing, not listening to my advice anymore. I felt bad about not seeing her anymore but I guess some people just have to learn on their own, there is nothing I can do for her but give her advice, pray for her, and hope that she realizes who her real friends are. I keep having second thoughts about whether or not I should start talking to her again, seeing how much she has changed makes it hard to be around her anymore. God Bless everyone and anyone dealing with problems like this, sometimes it's not easy trying to guide people in the right direction.
