What if someone you know needs help but is unwilling to accept it? What if she refuses your wisdom and advice and instead thinks she knows best? What if the one person you're most trying to reach out to doesn't want it? What do you do then?
Why is it so often the case that the one person we want cannot see us the way we wish he did? What would you have to do to change that? Risk everything? Put yourself on the line? Potentially sacrifice your ambitions? I don't think so.
What if the person you built up in your mind to be so amazing, carefree and inspiring instead turned out to be untrustworthy, chronically irresponsible and a complete liar? I'm not ready for the let down.
These are the various things I've overheard recently in my role as friend, student, mentor, sister, roommate and confidante.
It's amazing what you hear and learn when you just listen.
