Its like being in a forbidden Wonderland.
You know you're not supposed to, but the joy and happiness is too ypnotic not to.
hYet another episode of sleepless nights, but this time I bet all the mosquitoes are dead. Either that or my blood doesnt taste that sweet anymore.
Either way, I still cant sleep and this thought just suddenly popped into my head. Why can't people listen listen? The kind of listening where all you have to be there for is to listen? Wouldn't it be nice if an individual would just blabber their problems away to someone trusting and dear to you without them making any comments or worse, comparing it with their own problems and start directing the convo about theirs?
Granted, we all have our fair shares of downs. Still, there comes a time when that someone just calls you up specifically for that one reason; to rage.
And what would make someone a good listener. Or maybe a great one. Do they have to just sit and stare at the person talking without saying anything? Nod at the right time and phrase? Hold their hands when they feel like crying? Or start bringing up other topics to distract them? Yea they'd probably do all of the above. Realise that advice is not given 'cause first, they probably wouldn't take it anyways and second, if they do take it and takes a turn for the worse, you dead. Hey, there's no harm in helping right!
Usually the first person we turn to; is our best friends. All we'd hoped for is for them to be there. And yes, listen. And most importantly, care and understand. We'd hoped.
Everybody thinks their problems are the biggest compared to everybody else's. No, yours is. No, his is. No, hers. We don't know. And personally, we dont care. But we have to. Don't we? And we want to. Just stop comparing yours with theirs. Its not the same.
