On being protective. Of myself.

Maybe I should care more about my friends. But sometimes, it’s necessary to draw a line. Especially when it comes to very troubled friends. Mental basket cases. They drink too much. They go into bouts of depression. It’s very difficult being around them. Stressful, indeed. I need to get away. For respite breaks. Otherwise, they’ll drag me down. Into the pit.  With them. I’ve learned to not let that happen.  I’m protective. Of myself. --Jim Broede
