just answered the phone to hysterical crying. just found out i am the world’s most useless friend to call when you’re hysterically crying. when you don’t know what to do. turns out i don’t know what to do either. i’m calm, i’m a rock, but i’m a completely useless rock. ‘it’s gonna be okay’ just doesn’t cut it in real life like it does in lifetime originals.
being 1,000 miles away doesn’t help.
my roommate on the other hand is amazing at dealing with these situations. she’s currently got me hysterically laughing over her stilt-walking skills. which meant talking about her family and her mom who passed away last year. so now she’s gotten me happily distracted picturing her jogging on stilts and she’s crying a little bit while we switch subjects…
i’m so bad at sad situations. so useless. and now with her i feel like an idiot for getting so upset over something that comes nowhere near losing a parent. i think for now we’ll just keep talking about people and presidents until there’s no more sniffling in this room…
