To My FRIENDS
There is NOTHING worse than seeing friends who are hurting.
The only thing I think about is how badly I want to just give them a giant hug, a listening ear and compassion. Plus, I'd love to just take the pain away, whether it be physical, mental, WHATEVER.
I love you guys. I mean it. I wish I could be more help to some of you.
Sometimes, I feel like a failure, because I don't really know how to help or feeling like I'm doing a horrible job at being supportive, but that doesn't mean I don't love you and want the best for you or wishing I could just take it all from you, so you don't have to deal with it.
And I don't know, maybe that's not a good thing to say. But that's how I feel and I'm not going to hide how I FEEL!
*GIANT BEAR HUGS TO ALL THOSE WHO NEED IT*
If anyone ever needs a listening ear, SERIOUSLY, I WILL LISTEN! I'm just a message away. Dead serious. I'll listen to ANYONE. We don't have to know each other all that well, or we could be friends for years. I'm here. I'm available. I'll do what I can. I care. Just know that, okay?

More evidence of what a great person you are Megan. Don't feel like you're a failure because you don't know what to say or do. Just knowing that you care IS a help, it really is.
Don't ever be shy to chat me up first, ya hear?
Ditto girl. Ditto
Yeah, that failure stuff....cut that crap out. You're awesome, a great friend, and I really appreciate your desire to be there for ppl. It's a great trait. Being able to give a listening ear, and being able to understand that people have hurts is a huge bit of maturity and selflessness that I wish more people had.
You're one of the most empathetic people I know. That's a huge success in my book.
This is awesome.
When words fail, there are always (((hugz))). I know that there have been many times that I didn't know what to say, but wanted to convey 1) that I care 2) that I read the post/status. Even though it is not always well received, at least whomever it is knows that I'm thinking of them.
Awww. This is so sweet of you. I will definitely take you up on your offer (of messaging). Seriously, I was needing someone to talk to tonight, and then you offer this. It's so a God thing. Thank you forever.
@AngelAsh_86 - No problem! Any time, I'll talk to you!
thanks for putting this into words. i have had the same feelings but just never really said it.
@AwakeInTheNight - Thank you!
@AgainstTheWind1 - Thank you! that means a lot!
You're not a failure. I think even only being able to offer a few kind words really helps.
I"ve always felt like an idiot when I didn't know what to say when someone was going through rough times. It's not being a failure. It's being human.
Unfortunately, I usually resort to really retarded jokes that sound funnier to me than they are lol. But then, I guess I succeed, and they can tell themselves, "welp... at least my jokes ain't as lame as Grim's!"
-GIANT BEAR HUG RIGHT BACK- You're not a failure <3 Kind words ALWAYS go a long way
