Only a select few know my struggles in life. I trust them because they know I don't like sympathy or being the center of attention. I prefer to be treated like the person I've always been, not some charity case.
I vent to my friends because I know they won't allow it to overburden them. It gives me comfort to know they know what is going on in my life, but I don't want it to cause any added pressure in theirs. I care just as much about them as they do about me. I can't change what is going on in their lives, and they can't change what's going on in mine - but it feels good to act as each other's sounding boards when times get rough.  It's nice to know someone out there cares.
