exhaustion wraps itself round my spine

threeplusfireI'm still half hungover from an excessive amount of strong coffee and too many cigarettes on an empty stomach last night. But I can't not do these things for my friends. Someone needs to be there to talk, to listen, to say harsh things that tempered a bit by my sense of tact.
The sad thing is, if he could just act and speak the way he did last night with me I think Jason would have so much more success with people. He needs to move away from defining himself by his relationships, and carve out that core of self. I understand being wounded, really fucking wounded. But you either lay down and die, or you get up and keep moving. He's been hung up on that cliff for six years and it's bloody well time to get off.
You can say these things over and over, but we all know it won't do a damn bit of good until the person makes these choices themselves. But I try, because deep down I do want to help. I know you can't save people who aren't willing to help themselves.
Move or die, people. Get up and keep walking.
Slept too late, and I'm just exhausted emotionally and physically. I want a popsicle and a nap.
