Nobody said it was easy

Lately, I've been thinking about life. There's always the good and easy parts where you wish they could last forever, but there's also the bad and hard parts. I think the hardest part in my life is watching the ones that I love so dearly struggle in their lives with their challenges and/or stray away from the righteous path and do things that are obviously stupid, but they do it anyways. It just makes me so sad and pained to see that no matter what I do for this loved one, their mind is set on doing things that'll just ruin their life. I wish that I could just take their hand and lead them back to the light, but that's just not how life works. I know that through our tribulations we'll gain patience and hope, but sometimes it's just hard to get through the moments. I just really wish that this person would just listen and come back.

I know it must be hard for you to watch a loved one struggle, especially through the darker path. I wish I knew how to help, or the words that could be said to fix it, but I can't. I know, however, that if there is one person on this earth that can be a brilliant, amazing, shining example for someone who needs it, it is you. And I mean that sincerely. I could think of no better example. Even if this person doesn't follow your lead, know that you are watched and loved and that you're doing all that you can. You will be able to find the peace you need.

It's never easy to deal with something that you know you can't help.
And it can be really difficult, knowing that you can't take their hand, like you said, and lead them back.
Just know that the best you can do, is always be there for this person. They may not have a change of heart, and turn their life around and return to the light, but they can still benefit from your example.
Just remember, that they will have another chance to return to the light. At the second coming, they'll have another chance.
You're in my heart and my prayers, and I'll pray for this person as well.
