Can I Lend You An Ear?

     My friend was telling me the other day how I seem to be a great listener, always listening to their problems and issues. When I stop to think about it, I had to agree with her. My friends seem to find me every time that they have any issues, or problems, or if they just wanted someone to listen to them.
     But most of the issues that I listen to seem to be about love and relationship. I'm no expert in that matter, but sometimes I like to think that I'm the person that they can turn to for advice, or just to listen to them.
      One of my friend is in love with another friend, so he'd almost everyday tell my updates of his status with her. Whenever I can, I give him tips and pointers (though I doubt he needs any, he very well can do it on his own) , and also console him when he feels down. I try to help the best I can, but I can't make the girl fall in love with him if she doesn't want to.
     Another friend of mine is in a complicated relationship which I'd rather not talk about and complicate my explanation any further. And sometimes I'd lend my ears to her when she wants to talk about her love life. I don't have advises for her, but I'm happy that she trusts me to tell me her problems.
     And yet another friend of mine, confides in me his relationship too. He tells me that he feels like I'm the only big sister he has that he can talk to.
     I'm actually flattered that people see me as the person that they can talk to, but will there be someone for me to talk to when I have love issues? I'm currently not in a relationship, nor in love with anyone. What I have are just meaningless crushes, but if I do end up in another relationship, will there be another person like me whom I can talk to, who will give me all their attention and help me get through the hard times?

Forgetfullness

     I'm only 23 years old last August, but I sometimes find myself forgetful. Just the other day, to put on some make up I took my glasses out (yes I do wear glasses, in case you were wondering) and hung it on the front of my t-shirt. After completing my daily routine of applying my eyeliner and lip-gloss plus powder I wanted to get to work, so I started searching for my glasses. I looked on the stairs, in the room, in my bathroom and I can't find it. I started panicking and frantically searched everywhere for it.
     My mom was helping me too, as I was literally blind without my glasses. As I was looking for it in one of the rooms in our house, suddenly my sister pointed out to me, "your glasses are at the front of your shirt."
     I stopped, and looked down, and would you know it, my glasses was hanging there so innocently all this while. I felt so mortified, I put on my glasses and rushed out of my house before anyone teased me.
     This isn't the first time things like this happen to me. I've been forgetting trivial things many times now. I hope it gets better not worse.

Emotions



emotions



     I can't get it: emotions. The feelings of love, hatred, sadness, happiness, joy and depression. Its everywhere. It envelops you, smothers you, and it never leaves you alone. Its a part of every human being. You try to run away from it, yet there it is, closer to you than your shadow.

     LOVE seems to be the deepest of emotions, so they say. You know the saying; love can conquer it all, love is the strongest what-not. I'm not saying I don't believe in love, but what is LOVE nowadays?

Saying "I LOVE YOU", is that love? Or buying fancy gifts, is that love? Just looking at each other, is that love?

LOVE

Enlighten me please. Can people fall in love without knowing each other? Is that possible? When I say it's impossible, they say it is possible and they can't live without this particular person they love. But, weren't you living all along, before you met this person?

I'm not being sarcastic or cynical, but do think about it. Is the love you feel for someone you knew for a day, could be more deeper than the love for the people who brought you into this world?

I used to think I was in love once too. I though I couldn't live without that other person. But now that my mind is more clearer, I realized, we are capable of living without that person. They haven't been in our lives for long. Sure its hard at first, but well, you got to learn to let go. Am I right?

HATE

     Then What about HATRED? Some say hatred causes grief. Why do we hate someone? What makes us feel that? Is Hatred a feeling that we can let go of? I've hated people before too, but it usually goes away. Why do some people hate others, without giving a chance to get to know them? How do you know whether you'll like me or not if you don't let go of your hatred for me? What did I do? I don't know you yet you hate me. How do you explain that? Some say hatred is caused by jealousy. Then jealousy should be the core of all grief. But then again, jealousy is caused by low self-esteem, caused by poor upbringing, caused by busy parents who need to find money to survive, which brings us to money being the main factor, and the circle can go on forever. So, the next time you start to hate someone, think of the reason why you hate that person. If you don't know them, then get to know them first. If they are really annoying, then it's okay for you to hate them.

HAPPY

Happiness and sadness both are results that are connected to love and hate. If you love someone, you'd be so happy you'd feel like you're dancing on rainbows, yet when you lost that love, you'd be so sad you could end your life. Hating someone makes you unhappy too. When you see that person's face, you can't stand them being around you, so you scowl all day long. And when the person you hate gets into trouble, you'd be smiling oh-so happily for their misfortune. See how it is connected? So you make a choice in being happy or sad.
