I just can't save lives.
It's a hard thing when you carry compassion as one of your strong character traits, because good people will value it greatly, but some will take advantage to a scrap of your sanity.
Learning to harness the habbit of springing into "save-the-day" action has been a hard lesson for me.
And just typical of life, mine has decided to pound me in the face heavily with this issue.
Tonight was a true test - and i'm sitting here feeling indifferent- sitting on the fence between upset/worried and not giving a flying f*ck. Looks like i'm finally beating that instinct to try and save everyone's life but my own.
I know, i know. I totally sound like that girl in the Reality TV show house that's "always the victim." But fuck man... give me a break already. I'm sick of this year!
46 days and counting to a new one. Blurg...

From Denver, CO, United States
I'm from Denver, CO. I love to travel - both alone and with friends - explore new places and really learn the personality of a city. I own my own PR firm and offer support to creative professionals including authors, musicians and small business. My husband writes and performs live music (often for kids at local libraries in town), and we have a little boy who loves to travel as much as we do.
