secrets & friends

Oh man… emotions are such a tricky thing and secrets even trickier.

Sometimes we decide to keep our secrets to ourselves… but you know there are people out there that care. Why should you go it alone?

I am going on a rambling rampage so bare with me here:)

I am the person people come to to tell their secrets, their thoughts. I do not judge, I listen… maybe offer an instance that was similar for me. And it stays with me to the grave.  I understand that we know what is best for ourselves. That we all have thoughts that we are too afraid to share because of the judgment we might recieve. But the truth is, we all have dreams, hopes, thoughts that might not make sense to anybody else.

It’s hard when you live in such a cruel world where people will turn their back on you for nothing. Where people roll their eyes because of the decisions you make, thinking they know best for you but they only know what would be best for them in that situation. Where people give you a discouraging sigh when they only remember who you used to be.

I constantly struggle with how jaded we have become. Is it so hard to listen?

I keep things to myself for all the above reasons. Today, I finally shared something that wanted to destroy my insides, that I knew would warrant some kind of judgement. I got nothing but an open ear, no judgement… I have to say how truly wonderful it was.

I wish more of us could be like that!!! Someone that will stand by your friend no matter how strange it may be. Someone that only wants what is best for you and what will make you better. So I ask why can’t we be the next rung of the latter that our friends are climbing or the soft place to land when they fall?
