Brutally Honest

I have come to realize that those who reach out the most,
to the point of giving too much information, and maybe even those who start to annoy,
are the ones who are in the most need.
We become desensitized to their every word because they become like a broken record.
Unfortunately, those people are the ones who attempt suicide.
Those who are able to pull through, are left with constant reminders.
Those who succeed, leave those who loved them behind, with pain and heartache.
What can we do for these people?
The next time they utter a short bit of TMI, pay attention, talk to the person about it.
If you see a glimpse of pain, don't let someone walk out with it.
Even if you don't feel like it, you need to help.
Sometimes you may not feel like being helpful, but what you want or do not want to do, doesn't matter. It just so happens that life doesn't revolve around you. But if you can make it revolve around someone else for a while, you may become a part of saving a life.
