Observation of Three

Three friends whom I've parted ways with over the last year all have something very dark and tragic in common that I'm sure has affected every cell in their bodies - their parents died or vanished when they were young. As a result, the three of them share common characteristics in that they are mad at the world, bitter at life and deeply jealous of people who have everything they do not. I feel sad for them, I do, but their sadness and deep-seated issues need to be dealt with professionally through counseling. Time heals all wounds, but some wounds need a little extra help and in the case of these three, I believe counseling is in order.

Inasmuch, these three made me re-evaluate my life and become ever thankful for all that I have, the solid family I come from who loves me and who has always been there for me, the kind of upbringing I had that they probably always wanted. I was a sort of balance to these three for a time, but I could feel them pulling me down into a world of bitterness where my spirit simply cannot go, so I had to let them go as selfish as that feels sometimes. But always in the end, I wish them all love, peace of mind, a smile and a place where all is well, finally.
