we all need saving sometimes...

So what are you supposed to do when you don't know what to do anymore? We learn, as children, to problem solve. First it is just in school, and then, ever so gradually, we realize the real problems we have to solve aren't on paper. They aren't math problems, or logic. They, instead, are the deep, hurtful wounds that we sometimes don't even know we have. Things just start surfacing until one day we realize we are in the middle of a mess we have created, and have absolutely no idea how to fix. The real problem, is that we don't know what the hell the problem is. But, we have been taught to problem solve. So we try to solve, but we don't know what we are solving, or how to tell if we have actually solved it-which is a problem in itself. We just keep going, waiting for the day it all comes into a neat answer at the bottom of a piece of paper.
