Oh those troubled friends

It becomes a chore when you constantly give the same reassurances but your friend never takes your advice to heart.

My ex-best friend was like this. She was very studious but every two months or so, she would just become depressed due to her marks. She would then cut out anything from her life that she considered as a distraction to her studies. She would come to me with her worries and I tried helping her out. But after three years of the same advice, I just got tired of it all and let her go.

By then, it was university and she was much more depressed. I was sorry for leaving at the time but there's only so much I can take.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
