So as to the impending holiday, I have this question to ask:
Any chance I could get some sort of George Bailey experience where I can see not what the people in my life are like without me, but how the people in my life are going to be ok regardless of my interaction with them?
So I've never actually seen "Its a Wonderful Life" in its entirety, (I know, shocked gasps and then silence ensues,) but it sounds like it would be nice.
I feel the same way I felt the last time things were really tragic for me, i.e. I had just broken up with my girlfriend, I had no friends, life sucked, teenage drama bullshit, except right now, for all intents and purposes, I'm doing pretty damn well.
But each and every fucking person I care about right now is going through a really rough patch in their lives, from really bad emotional drama to really bad cancer/disease type health scares and its killing me!
Now I know I'm not important or the victim at all in this. I have known for a very long time now that it is my lot in life to eventually vanish into mediocrity while trying to help others and I have accepted that. I did not realize, however, that signing up for that would mean I would have to watch my loved ones suffer through so much almost as if for the benefit of my life's purpose. Just because I want to help people doesn't mean the powers that be have to make them need my help dammit!
Oh well, more from the melancholy bitch pit later...
