My life is a hard one. It's not because I am struggling, it's because I hate seeing others struggle. I have many family and friends who seem to get the short end of the stick. My mom is having money issues and is at the verge of losing everything. My brother was kicked out of college, and is living on his own. My roommate at college had to leave to help take care of his sick relative. One of my friends took a nursing exam recently, and she failed. The hard part was that I talked to her the night before and told her that I believed she could do it. I always have faith in my friends, and I feel hurt when they get turned down or disappointed. I was a Boy Scout and I recently became an Eagle Scout. One of my best friends was the one who helped me become a Boy Scout. I didn't know of any troops and he happened to be part of one. But he ran out of time, and could not become an Eagle Scout. Likewise, his brother who I was also friends with, had the same thing happen to him. I made decided that I had to become an Eagle Scout no matter what to kind of "avenge" their misfortune. When a friend is rejected I feel like I have a personal obligation to do something for them. Even if it means pushing myself to finish the race in their name. It may be unnecessary or even immature, but I would feel worse if I didn't do anything. My former girlfriend had a very tough life as a child, and I tried to be a light in her life to build her up. But I got mad at her and accidentally went too far with what I said, and now I feel like I caused more hardship for her. Yet I think I feel more hurt than she is, because it has been months, and I still can't stop wanting to be friends with her again. Because I want to be a person who can cheer people up instead of bringing them down with my stupidity. I have to believe in Heaven, because if I go through my whole life never seeing her again, at least I will be able to express my sorrow up there after the 80 or so years of my life are finished. I can't handle feeling helpless, and knowing that there is nothing I can do to fix the situation other than waiting. I just wish my faith would actually work for once, and a friend would have something good happen to them. It would make me a happier person.
