Blog as the best listener!
We will not always be happy, at peace and contented. Most of the time, we are in the opposite side of the spectrum. We often tend to seek for other people’s heart to sympathize or even empathize for us but in my case, most of the time- I fail to find that. Well, there are a lot of things to consider.
- First, that other person can’t just relate to your situation or feelings especially when you won’t tell them the details of the story. Worst, even if you did tell them they still can’t.
- Second, their day or life is too good for you to just mess it up with your agonies and everything.
- Third, they too have their problems to take care of. It’s more than enough to take the load of others.
Well, the above three considerations are based on my experiences. You may have a more extensive list than the above mentioned, or you may even have listed least than that. Well, have you ever experienced the needs to call somebody to talk to and a lot of unwanted circumstances will happen? For instance, you can’t see that person online on your messenger list, you got no load to call or send them a message or worst for some of my case, I lost my internet connection so I have no one to talk or things to cling unto.
But thanks to those unwanted instances and to those unskilled sympathizers and emphatizers. Why? Because even how much we wanted companions, a good listener and everything we may need to comfort us at that moment - they’d left us alone so we’ll have time to talk to ourselves. Besides, it’s exactly us who knows what we really wanted, how we want to be treated, how we want to be comforted. It’s only ourselves who can truly discern that.
On the other hand, people are social beings that we can’t just stop ourselves from wanting to have that person beside us who are skilled enough to at least emphatize with us at that particular moment of our lives-even when details are not given to them. That will sound better. So, often it’s a bit disappointing that at down moments of your life, you don’t have those people you expected to be with. I can’t help but selfishly think that sometimes people are there when they need you or you’re both happy and going to a party or whatever. Sad to learn that most of the times we are alone. For goodness sake, who would want to hear bunch of problems from others when you are already pre-occupied of your own thing. So I understand that. I really understand that.
I am just thankful that diaries are given birth and now, blogs are here. They may not interact with you as you write and rant all your feelings but they’ve given you enough silence and space to burst it out, to write it out, to release them all-however you may want to call that. Blog is not just a simple evolution of diaries, not just a good source of income but most importantly blogs are best listeners. They don’t react even how harsh the words you may write in it(unless you have those anti-Do’s). They just let you write, write and write until your fingers are tired that you decide to save it or not. Oh, before I forgot, blog is as truthful as it may seems. Blogs are truthful because they’ve given you the freedom to keep your rants private or open to public. And that is already within the author’s jurisdiction. See? how fortunate I am to be a blogger and for you who are also bloggers? You may not have yet that realization but I’m certain one day, you will!
