Being a friend is hard, be a good one is even harder

Friends usually realise who are their true friends when they fall into shit pit.

My close friends are not physically near me but they do listen to me when I need them. At least I know they would read my email.

2 of my friends are feeling very down now. One just broke off with the boyfriend (not the one I mentioned the last time). I happened to know both of them since they were my schoolmates. It's a pity to hear of the news, but maybe they will sort it out eventually. Or end it for the better? I hope not the later, but whatever it is, it will only be for the better. Another one is the friend in depression because of friendship, even though she's not angry with me but she is very hostile. She even brushed off my concern for her, so now I just leave her alone... I don't know what's wrong, but I think she is sinking further and further into the hole of darkness. She doesn't want to grab the rope I threw in for her, so I guess it's up to her now. If she just wants to stay in the darkness... no one will be able to help her out. It's very frustrating actually when you have friends like that, I wonder who will understand? I wish I can stop being a friend if it's so difficult. Well I wish.
