"Your eyes show the strength of your soul." - Paulo Coelho

Jacob began to open up to me today, but as soon as he did, he constructed walls so high, and so strong, that it would take a giant to even begin to tear it down.

He told me how much he misses her; his girlfriend. I advised him that going against a restraining order would be the biggest mistake he could possibly make.

I also gave him my phone numbers.

To tell the truth, I understand where these boys are coming from, but as much as I wish I could just fix all of the broken pieces, I can’t do that. I wish I could take away all of their hurt and anger because it’s so difficult to have to watch them struggle with themselves, but it’s something that I can only advise them on… I can’t do it for them.
