I
care. I care a lot. You want to know what I care about? Everything. I care about the people around me. I care about the people who aren't around me. I care about my closest friends and my worst enemies. I care about the people I just talked to and the people to whom I haven't spoken in ten years or more.
You know what I care about most, right now? My friend A. I got a message from her aout two months ago that her doctor had told her she might have cancer. I messaged her back, several times now, and have heard nothing. I know that she's gotten my messages, because it was all on MySpace and she's logged in since the times I sent them. I can understand if she's rejecting my offer of emotional assistance, but I wish she'd let me know how everything turned out. She's in my prayers everyday, and I wish she knew that.
You know what else I care about? My friends in NW Iowa who are a couple, and have of late been constantly at one another's throat. I can offer them nothing more than a shoulder to cry on (over the phone, of course), and they take me up on it. I am thrilled to be able to be there for them when they need someone to talk to.
And there's more. All of the people on EP with stories to share, or not share, I care about them.
There is not a person in this world that is not under the cover of my care. I love all of you here, and would gladly do whatever I were capable of to help each and every one of you out, given the opportunity. I love you guys!

  | Posted Dec 29th, 2007 at 8:31PM I wish everyone was as compassionate and caring towards people, as you so obviously are. This planet would be a far nicer and a much more peaceful place to live if we all thought this way about others.   |

 | Posted Jan 14th, 2009 at 7:53AM I hate to rain on your parade but I've come accross many people like you in my practice . We're you abused as a child? I'm asking because abuse victims seek the love they did not get as children by being ultra good to the extreme and taking care of others they often become daycare workers or nurses or doctors but the person they really need to take care of is themselves which is the hardest thing to do because it's very hard to love yourself with no early childhood model of familial love. |
 | Posted Feb 1st, 2009 at 1:31AM I'm the same way :) Always caring about everybody, to whatever degree I can. But I did have a very good model of familial love all the way while growing up, too(thanks mum :D Dad,) so MrsPotatoehead ain't always right ;) Besides, they've got pretty awful spelling and grammar, for a professional. I can see where they'd be coming from, but I'm not sure if I fit this model or not. I think I'm just a naturally loving person :P |
 | Posted Feb 6th, 2009 at 4:36AM hats off to u... wish i could be as giving and loving as u :D GOD BLESS U ALWAYS |
 | Posted Mar 13th, 2009 at 10:45AM lol! i'm such a caring person too... some of my friends tell me to stop caring too much cause i might get hurt someday.. but i can't stop it.. i'm enjoying it too much.. |
| Posted Mar 18th, 2009 at 7:47AM I wish I was still like you. I have stopped caring because when I did I would think about all the suffering in the world and it would destroy me mentally. That was at a time when I was suffering myself but now I am healed so maybe it is time to go back to caring. |
