a pill to forget worries?

a friend of mine has recently been very unhappy with the way things are turning out for her relationship... her bf asked for a break.. break as in time out and not break up... i can almost feel her pain when he asked for that.. i feel her pain and all... cos it reminded me of my own breakup and how i simply refused to tear away from the fact that he needs a break from me and everything else... simply refused to tear away from him... she's been trying to spot him in his fav spots, losing sleep over the matter and basically rejecting any offer to go out... but would all those actions help? she said talking to me does not seem to help her... i agree with her... i cannot use the techniques i learnt to talk to her, simply because i know too much... and besides.. i didn't want to integrate my training into my friends' problems... like what the trainers say, it's good training but i know my friends would not get used to it... a few of them have expressed their concern when i started to converse with them that way... asking me if i'm alright... i agree, i very much wish to use those techniques on them but somehow, it might not be the best way to speak to some of them.... anyway, she seems to be getting into a rut which she dug herself... i realise that i see myself in her and it is through her that i see how much i have struggled my way out of the breakup...how much i have grown over the one year... but again, i came to realise that nobody is indispensable... nobody would die if you dun not have anybody... it is all in our mindset.. our lives have got so much more to just a person in our lives but yet a lot of times we cannot see what is going on in the other parts of our lives... i remember so clearly that this friend chose her bf over me when he called to ask her out and she had to cancel our appointments... so many times that she chose to wait for this guy rather than go out to have fun... and now, sitting at home to wait for the break to be over.. waiting for him to release her of her misery... miserable huh?? she claimed that my life is so wonderful and so filled with activities and that i'm a social butterfly.. fluttering around people... but sometimes a lot of things is a matter of choice... choice of whether u wanna be happy, be surrounded by people or to be alone... sometimes i can be alone, sometimes i like to be around people... depending on myself and nobody else... so i really hope that this friend would make a choice of being happy even as she is waiting cos when something occupies your mind, time pass faster and your thoughts will not be strayed to that unhappy incident so easily... I wish you happiness....
