As I vacillate between IRL and Virtuality

This stasis between the two worlds has created a conundrum where I really don't exist in either. 

Today was a rough day for my virtual playmate. There were external stressors involving work, family & home life including disruptions to her feelings about her marriage. 

I have worked hard to support her in the health journey/school journey/relationship journey. I am hopeful for her. 

I'm not sure what else I could do. She was very angry today. Very. And she said she was trying to contain that anger in her conversation with me. 

At work, pressure from both above, with her boss trying to get her to take on more work and below, with a recently reprimanded employee underhandedly threatening to bolt and leave my friend in the lurch. 

I worry for her. I remain hopeful. So much promise. So much life still to live. I'm not so lucky. I am awaiting an ending.
