Life is Like Climbing A Mountain...

When you love someone, isn't it a logical response to be there for them? 

When they're upset, shouldn't you take that seriously and be concerned? 

Isn't it that you naturally get concerned when they're upset and want to be there for them?

Don't you want to cheer them up?

Also, to show appreciation for them, do you try to make an effort to do so?

If you've been apart from someone you care about for a long time, don't you miss them?

No matter how busy you are, do you try to make time for them?

This is how I view life:

Life is like a journey, climbing a mountain to reach the top; When you meet people, and let them into your life, you're letting them in on your journey. They either climb up the mountain next to you, because they also want to reach the top, and they help guide you, and in return you guide them. You help each other reach your goals. 

Then, there are other people; You let them in on your journey to reach the top, and once they feel lazy or weak, and they don't let you help them, but they want to reach the top, they latch on to you, like a backpack, hold you by the neck, and try to (unintentionally, or intentionally) drag you down the mountain with them. That kind of person should be let out of your journey if you want to reach your goals faster.

Sometimes, people also sit on a plateau halfway up the mountain, and expect you to wait until they're ready to keep climbing. They may or may not intentionally want to slow you down, but either way, they are. 

It's healthy to take a break once in a while to catch your breath on a tough journey, but managing your time wisely is also something to consider. If other people want to waste your time, after a while, it's good to know when the right time is to tell them to fuck off. You want to surround yourself with people who are inspiring enough to take you higher, not bring you down.

Anyway, the next time someone you know is taking you down with them, and not trying to help themselves (or let you help them) or help you when there's a problem, let them know what's bugging you, and if they just brush it off like it means nothing to them, tell them to go fuck themselves, and continue your journey with people who actually give a damn about reaching their goals. Be a good friend, but follow your gut instincts when your gut instincts a're telling you something's not right.
