Just got home from spending the night at my friend and her boyfriend's apartment. We baked a pizza, drank moscato, played Uno, got breakfast...it was really fun.

My friend got into a big fight with her boyfriend, though. I went and stood out on their balcony while they were working things out. My friend came out onto the balcony, and we just talked. It turns out that she is really having a hard time with her boyfriend (he can be really angry and bitter), her family takes advantage of her...and she has been really depressed. She told me that she has felt suicidal. It broke my heart to know that she felt so bad. She is such a nice girl, and she deserves to be happy. I asked her if she felt like she might act on the thoughts and she said that she wouldn't, that they're just there, so I'm glad for that at least. But I wish she didn't have to deal with this, because I know firsthand how much it sucks.

There is so much pain in the world, and we humans just can't stop hurting each other.
