i am shocked that it’s been so long since i wrote this goal. sadly, my sister’s followed through on the stupid life choices that i disagreed with then and now has even more stupid pursuits! i went through a phase where i tried to call her daily to just ‘be there’ for her but i have not found a way to ‘be there’ without being judgemental about what she’s telling me. is it possible to just listen and not offer advice when you can see how bad her decisions are? does that really help anyone? just this morning, i picked up my phone to call her but i just couldn’t bring myself to do it. 4 years ago

my sister is making choices that i think are bad ones. she is determined that she knows what she is doing (i think she is being really selfish) but she will need moral support either way. when she makes these negative changes, i want to be there to provide moral support and refrain from giving my opinion (which has already been rejected). 6 years ago
