Sometimes when I am overwhelmed it is very easy to exert my emotions onto those who don't deserve it. I have found that the stresses of our daily lives can add quickly causing our patience to wear thin and for our shoulders to feel weighted. Who wants to be treading a large inclined mountain with 40lbs of the backpack on them in the heat only to hear someone say go faster? It's like life if you ask me. We have our work, our school, our families, our problems, our insecurities, etc., etc. & then we have a friend wanting our presence. Sometimes that is simply overwhelming. Just taking a moment to realize our patience is probably thin and separating our issues from them in perspective can really help us keep our cool. They care about us and they want what's best for us. If anything they can be the very one to help take some of that weight off of our back if given the chance.
