Different

im different. and everyones different. but, you have to know what i mean. i cant stay sad for more than a couple hours because someone ends up cheering me up, or i realize that im sad for such a stupid reason. I dont have big struggles, problems; i dont stress out. What is wrong with me? everyone else seems to have the biggest problems to deal with, and tons of stress. i sit there enjoying my time, bored. Everyone has problems, but lets just say that half of them are my friends. My problems mostly deal with how i am doing in my faith. School is whatever, i have B's and A's.. because i relax. When i did stress, i do bad because its overwhelming and your in a hurry to get whatever done. Story of 'the Hare and the Tortise'.

I think im not a good friend, or im the type of person you shouldnt tell things to, especially if you expect advice or a good response. No, ill sit there, and listen to you vent, listen to your problems, and in the end the best i can say is 'yeah, mhmm' because i have no advice, no response because if i was in your situation, i wouldnt know what to do either or ill probably say something that the person already knows. People have told me im not good at helping people out, but they tell me that listening is helping.
