A couple of people I know have had really hard weeks the past week. Well, actually, several people I know have had really bad weeks in the past week, and I wish there was more I could do for each of them.

I must say that I'm surprised how maturly these crises have been handled by some. And while, when I was 18 years old, I thought that my life had drama, I know now that things could have been much harder to handle with a decent head on my shoulders.

I am proud of them for sticking to it in some cases, and in other cases, I'm proud of them getting the heck out of there.
