Today is a different sort of post, I hope the person intended to read it does. I have a friend who seems to always be complaining about things going wrong in her life, it never ends. What makes it worse is she never seems to do anything to fix them. All she does is complain to anyone and everyone who will listen, she creates a pool of self-pity for herself. In all this time I wonder if she realizes that time being mad, angry, feeling sorry for herself, could have been spent doing something about it. I know you know at least one person in your life that is like that.

Quite frankly, I am tired of listening to her sob stories, I am tired of offering her advice and assistance and watching her still sit there in amazement at how much her life sucks.

Don’t get me wrong, I have those days and moments. I am sure you have them too. I have days where I feel like having a pity party for myself and sometimes I do just that. I take some time to sulk and be sad for a few days. I also know that after a few days if I don’t take the appropriate steps to fix what is wrong then it will always be the same.  How come some people don’t know this? Is it that they don’t know or that they just don’t do it?

I feel sorry for my friend in question because she doesn’t even notice how much her negativity is attracting more negativity into her life. She does nothing but attract more of what she doesn’t want. After trying countless times to help her, to no avail, I feel that her energy will soon start to bring me down as well.

I really hope that she gets over herself and realizes that everyone encounters hard times, but that we are the only ones that can change the problems in our lives. I mean how else does it happen? Does she think that people just mysteriously sit there and their lives are fixed?! I mean really.
