recently i told myself that i wanna be there for my friends be it people whom i dunno and offering a listening ear or someone whom i just knew or an old friend. listening is something which most of us dun do even though we have 2 ears. we tend to talk, interject, interrupt sometimes when there isn't a need at all. I guess the people who tend to be hurt the most are those who seem strong in front of us. They usually tend not to have anyone to talk to when they're down, depressed or just need a listening ear. From today just take the time to listen. listen without prejudice and after they are done then you give them your opinions. And when the person seems down and upset ask if they're alright, some people they'd say no i'm alright (yar that's bullshit) ask again or reinforce with but u dun look alright is there something bothering you. people tend to relent. sometimes they just wanna act tough. i do. i admit. it's silly but it's just a defence mechanism. in fact these people tend to need people to listen to them more than the rest.(or well actually all equal lar(need), but they dun get it as easily as though who whine the whole day) i think i'm speaking in circles. lately i've told myself i'd be a better friend so here's one way to be one. =) listen. and for those people who doesn't have ppl who appreciates their friendship, i will, when u need a listening ear desperately, find me. i will listen. i'll be there for you.
