friendship is hard (01/01/2026)

okay, i'm gonna rant about this, so i'll keep it to friends only. basically, i have this friend, we'll call them job (like the book in the bible). i've always admired her and i'm genuinely really determined to maintain our friendship because i feel like she's a great person to talk to, to hang out with, and someone who's supported me in ways no one else could. however, recently she's gotten herself into a bit of a situatioship with this other friend of ours, lana. job originally didn't discuss this much with me, but eventually she told me about it and has been coming to me pretty consistently for advice and when she needs consoling because of something or other that happened with lana that makes her worry that the situation won't last or won't ammount to anything. not to reveal anything, but from the details job herself has told me: THAT'S PRETTY FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE. she's good, she's sooooo #in. but everytime job feels a little too insecure about it all because lana left her on read or on delivered for any period if time, it seems i'm the perfect person to therapize job for a bit, until she doesn't need me anymore and stops replying. look, i love helping my friends out whenever they need it, but i'd expect a friend to also stay and listen to things i have to say that don't pertain to them. it just feels shitty to feel like a personal therapist for someone you once held on a pedastal beyond human vulnerability. i guess don't have heroes, and if you do don't meet them.
