Hope is a Dream that Never Sleeps

“Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” - Buddha

I came across that quote on Tumblr and wrote it on a Post-It and put it on my MacBook so I can see it everyday and remember. I’m trying to remember it right now, but it’s hard. There are few things worse than being angry on behalf of someone you care about - particularly when you can’t change anything. I’m brimming with anger, but I’m completely powerless to do anything but rant and criticize the way they’re not being treated the way they deserve.

I know my anger is only hurting me, not helping their situation in the slightest, but I can’t help it. I can’t shake this feeling that they’ve been wronged and I feel so apologetic, even though I’m not the one who wronged them.

I guess all I can do is always support them and show that I’m on their side.
