What should I do?
by Minuk Choi

For you,
I would gladly walk a mile,
if that would give me a chance
to see you smile.

I'd call you my friend,
but that's a lie.
You mean more to me,
but I can't explain why.

For you are more precious to me
than all of the world's gold,
but I can't tell you that,
how can I be that bold?

If I spoke what's on my mind,
would you accept me?
Because without you,
I don't know where I'd be.

You seem to be calm,
while I feel absolutely lost.
I would like to be so bold,
but what would its failure cost?

Am I the only one faced with this choice?
Be daring and risk losing you as a friend too?
I can't risk that; I'd rather have that then lose everything.
What should I do?

The first response to this answer was great so I will just add that you need to find another way of releasing that sadness, anger or tension you have going on. I did the same thing when I was younger I would totally blow my paychecks on clothes and stuff. It's totally normal but still potentially dangerous if it continues and evolves into something else as you get older. Try doing something else like go running, yoga, listen to music anything that is calming or works out some of those feelings. I started going running when I was angry or anxious, during the run I worked through my feelings and by the end I was on such a natural high from the endorphins and just felt so rejuvinated. There is something for everyone and once you find out what works best for you then you can hopefully get rid of that shopping problem. Good luck!
