It's Really Up To You

Being that it's almost 3 in the morning this post might not be the sharpest one i've written but i'll give it a try anyways.

I have a friend, he's in his 40s, and he's dealing with problems. He always complains or states that he feels so alone and he's got problems with this and problems with that blah blah blah. I care for the guy, he's one of my best friends, but I don't like seeing him like this. The guy has so much potential, so much promise, so much to give to the world that because he's feeling this way it gets hidden. I try and give him advice like "you should go talk to somebody," because I feel talking to somebody can be the best therapy, however, some people are so stubborn that they'll never get that far. Take my dad for example, it took him so long to go get help for the problems he's encountered through life. Now that he finally received the help, and gave up that stubbornness, he's a much better person for it. But it really is up to the person to extend their hand out and get that help they so much need. People can only push and push and push so far before they can't push no more. It's up to the person in need to finally push themselves to the place they need to go, a place of help.

So it really is never to late to get help, but it is really up to you.
