Little Things

We're not responsible. We can barely take care of ourselves it seems, and you expect us to deal with this? The least that you could do is help out at least a little bit, and no, I do not mean by bossing us around and yelling at us and telling us to do this and to do that and etc. You live here too, and I know that you do a lot to contribute, but you need to remember that you're not the only one who does stuff around here. So do we. It may not be the exact same thing as what you go through, but we go through our own crap everyday too, and it wears us out as well. You have to look at things not only through your point of view, but through ours as well. Look around you. Sure, you whine and complain about how things are, but have you all really taken a step back to see what other ways there are of approaching or other means of handling the situation? Obviously yelling at each other isn't working, because you've made little to no progress. Why can't you see that? I know you probably don't realize this, but because of all of this, I've locked myself away several times just crying for hours, and then it got to the point where I honestly just didn't care and learned to tune everything that I didn't want anything to do with and just went along with what's really important in life. I must admit, being around it again causes chaos within me, but it cuts even more to see someone experience the same thing that I've gone through. Especially since she's even more fragile than I am, and she's much better at expressing herself than I am. Of course, she doesn't come with much tact, but she's still very respectful whenever the time comes. She doesn't want to hurt anyone or burden them with things, so she just bears it and goes to the corner of her universe that she deemed as her own and cries there.
Oh the little things to think about.
