no, really. i'm not built for this kind of problem solving!!

ok, so a lot of 'drama' is going on and i really don't like it! friend one and friend two were getting along great for a long time until their personalities had a crash big time... one thinks I'm replacing them with the other. i can usually solve friendship issues like a dad solves his child's 'boo-boo'. slap a band aid on, give it a kiss, and set them right back up on their bike. unfortunately, something like this has never had the opportunity to trouble my days and give me a hard time.it really annoys me when two people can't sort things out between them. so who do they turn to? a middle man- in this case, me.it's like this: friend one is standing on one side of a bottomless pit and friend two is standing on the other side. but there is a bridge!! me. they want to use me as the middle man- not to necassarily 'make up'- because lord knows that won't happen- but sooner or later one friend is going to cut the ropes that tie the bridge to their side and it will swing over to the other person. but they wouldn't do that just yet. they can't stand each other so much that they just had to double their burdens on the 'bridge' and hope that it would hold and solve everything and guess what?? IT BREAKS!!!! the bridge is the one that falls!! not friend one or friend two.anyway, if you are following my reasoning, you can see that it's pretty hard on me. i've got two expectant faces looking at me to solve their problems. i can ace a math test, dress a wound, save a dog from being hit by a car BUT i cannot fix someone else's problems or follow their rules, expectations, or terms. look, i understand that you can have problems but don't try using a middle man. face your own burdens. talk to the other person. do something!
