___the hard way
In extreme circumstances, sometimes it's necessary to hurt someone emotionally in order to make an impact. And this impact might wake the person up, to prevent her from sinking deeper into what she is doing. It's perhaps quite a merciless way because it definitely isn't a good feeling to see a friend being reduced to tears, hurt by your actions. Yet I think it's needed when you know that the other party needs an awakening, needs to realise a truth before things get out of hand.
I think it's such a tough thing to decide on, due to the fact that hurting and not hurting will both bring undesirable consequences. Some people would rather suffer in silence than hurt others. A good sign of putting up with things indeed. Others harden their heart and do it even if it hurts them and the other party. One mean stroke would perhaps end the suffering for both parties.
Feeling helpless when I really feel like helping.
Anyway I realise little things in my pathetic school life make me happy. Perhaps when life starts to become so mundane, I become less frazzled over stuff and I start to see and appreciate the finer things that appear in my life. And this makes me happpy. The fact that I can still find things to make me smile in pure joy is also making me feel better even with the onslaught of promos and the break from band practice. I expected a depressing situation with the start of the new school term, yet now it hasn't turned out to be so. Looking forward to surviving mugging with a still-happy heart.
