 There have been many people in my life who I had the ability to help and they would not allow themselves to be helped. 

Sometimes that fucks with me a bit. 

Like it was fully within my sphere of influence to fix their problems, but they just straight up categorically rejected the help in favor of a path of continued self destruction. 

I guess it’s normal. 

We never really do anything until we’re ready.
