I feel....

I don't really know to be honest with you. In my own life things are going so well; school, friends (in San Francisco), everything. But then I call people back home, back homes actually. Nashville, Phoenix, Mississippi, people everywhere are just having issues, and I can't help but feel that I've kind of, just jumped ship on them. I know that I have nothing to feel bad about; it's not like I could've stayed there (again THERE means many places), I had to go on to do better for me. I'm just used to being able to be there for my friends/family, and now at LEAST 700 miles away from everyone that I knew before I moved here it's a little harder to be encouraging, supportive and protective for/to those that need it. I talked with a friend of mine this evening at she just kept saying "I'm so glad YOU got out, that YOU'RE doing something with YOUR life". And while I'm sure she didn't mean it the way it sounded, it hurt to hear her say that. I'm just worried for my friends, I'm not saying that if I was there everything would be better, I'm not that egotistical to think that I could fix anything, but at least I'd be there. I'd at least feel better being there for them, even if I wasn't able to help, just to be there, to give a hug, wipe a tear or make them laugh.

Notes:
I feel exactly the same way as you do in a lot of the ways you describe.

It's not necessarily that I have a magic potion or that I could just snap my fingers and make things better, but it's certain that proximity can do something phone calls can't.

Although whatever thoughts you ever expend on your closest friends indeed do not go unnoticed. And if that's all you can offer, offer it you should.
