letting it out



i need to let this pent up emotions out so i can have a new day tomorrow. i don't want this to stalk me and ruin my week.

i know that we all have our own problems to deal with and we deal with them differently. i guess i am unique this way. i am not afraid of asking people for help because this is how i cope up with troubles. sometimes i need consolation, assurances, even promises that life would be okay. sometimes i just need an ear that would listen.

today, i seek peoples help. because i am afraid for the life of my friend. i got so scared that a mother would lose a son, kids would lose their father and the wife would lose a husband. In the absence of other news other than my friend is in intensive care unit. i got upset and afraid. i got scared but i was not afraid to ask people for prayers. most of the people who heard the news offered sympathies. a few was too busy to care.. and i know someone who totally went berserk because she feels like the problem of the world is being thrown at her.

but i say, it will not kill you to sympathize. when it is your time looking for it, you will learn the value of sympathy.

i just hope i am no longer around to witness it.

“Do not be afraid of showing your affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy, than by service; love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.”
-John Lubbock quotes
