feeling very introspective

Maybe its just me, but sometimes I feel like there is so much sadness in this world, it hurts me to think about it. Now, before I continue, this could totally be the alcohol talking, but i havent had too much to drink, so I think this is really me talking. i am just feeling like I spend so much time worrying about other people and their lives. I have so many friends right now that are not happy with their lives, it makes me sad. I remember when I was unhappy with where my life was headed. It is a shitty feeling. I wish I could do something to help my friends or even people I dont really know that well (like the kids at the advocacy center). We live in a harsh world. i know it is not all bad by any means, but there is definitley a lot of pain for people to deal with. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make everyone happy. I know it doesnt work that way, but this is my journal and I have the right to dream. Have a good night.
