Hi, I was I could make my frist journal entry a happy one. But unfortunatly I can't. One of my friends is makin me worried, I am starting to get realy concern with him. He hasn't really been acting like himself these last few months. I mean ever since we graduated we both have been busy with life, car problems work and etc...but other things have been bothering him. He is having all sorts of emotional problems, he won't let go of this one girl. Me and my other friends have been trying to get him back on his feet...but he says his memories and feeling keep bringing him down. He does good but then he will see something and all of a sudden his eyes will lower and a look of sadness comes to his face...like he just remember soemthing painful.

I know he wouldn't want me to say this...but thats why I am not using his name...We were hanging out a few nights ago...and he started talking about how life is funny...I asked him how and he just told me..." A mans sins can travel him through his entire life, I am so young and yet I have too many regrets...I wish I could have done things so different...so much different..." He had that look again on his face. I looked at him and said, My brother...you have to relize that you have your future ahead of you and its bright. You got a car, a job that give s you hours, unlike my job at Walmart, and your about to start your new job here as a Prison Guard. These are happy days what is it that brings you down man. He looked at me...and this is the part where he would hit me for...his eyes were teary...and a strand feel down his cheek. Zach...when you find a girl who truly cares for you, and you will know...you will just know, dont let her go,treasure her and make sure that she knows that you care for her just as much...and don't let anyone stand in your path or fall for temptations...please Zack, promise me you wont make the same mistake I did...If i could only change back time... I looked at him and asked him...are you gonna be ok bro. Yeah he said...lets go back inside, D and Bri will be wondering what we are up too. So we walked inside and played Left4Dead.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice to give me to help my bro out. He is in pain and I want to be there for him, but I suck at advice.

PS--On a lighter note...I cant wait for my first anime con...Sugoicon XD!!!
