To YOU, with empathy.

at the end of the day, everyone needs to perfect the skill of masking all sorrows & despairs with a smile. it’s not hypocrisy, not isolation but a mere act of kindness to yourself AND people around you. most of the time, we are so indulge in self-serving biasness to assume that we are the one and only one to endure the most amount of pain. has it ever occurred to u that what u saw and heard are only tips of the icebergs? how much does it take for a person to put behind glaciers of tears to be laughing with u?

if it’s the case, do u bear to inflict more agony on those you love by pouring your share of it to them? I don’t… & I won’t.

& had I not been living on the other side of the globe, away from family & close friends, I would not see it.

too often we presume friends & family are obligated to help us.
too often we regard them to be compelled to take care of our emotional needs.
too often we forget such act is a blessing & overlook it at our own apathy.

I’m sorry if I sound judgmental. for the fortunate few (or unfortunate depending on how u see it) who contemplate the material world only, it may not be necessary to see this. But for the rest, I think it helps to ease possible feelings of seclusion & to adjust the mood.

I hope u are happy most of the time. so do all of my few close friends. Seriously.

Ps. When it comes to bgr, if u’ve put in the amt of effort tt u feel it’s justifiable & it’s still not working, it’s time to let go. May be I’m too pessimistic but I seriously think for the level of risk & amt of output in any bgr, it’s not worth u investing so much time & energy ESPECIALLY if u r unhappy.
