Listening...

What do you do when u try to comfort a friend in depression, in distress, in extreme rejection of the world?

I always try to listen to such friends of mine…and they number quite a few. Over the past few days I’ve been listening to their ranting, and I really feel this way:

“As he rushed headlong into the abyss I was so close yet so far from him.”

All I can hope is that my listening will help them feel better…but at the same time I get slightly affected each time that happens too…for a good listener also soaks up the other party’s emotions…you cant help but to share their feelings.

I’m fine by the way…just some ranting. Hope one day there’ll be someone to listen to ME instead for a change…

Going for VJC’s 2nd annual concert of the year, the ‘Not So Silent Night’ at their campus…going with Teow Kwang. Have fun!

P.S. on a lighter note…Cleon didn’t buy any presents on the shopping trip mentioned in the last post. As I expected…Singaporeans only window shop. Lolx…
