standing by

Worried about someone I love. Like, very worried. I'm trying to be supportive of this person's decisions but instead, I am seriously afraid. What is it about people and always wanting more? Playing their odds instead of appreciating and making the most of what they have? Can't stop pushing their luck until it's too late? If you're in debt, stop spending money on luxuries you can easily do without. If things are stressful, stop piling on more stress. Maybe I am getting old and cautious? Maybe I am conceited and think everyone should be as careful as me? But I can't help but worry and pray that everything works out.
