I was just downstairs buying lunch, when I looked around at people and wondered. Don't you ever wonder what kind of life people who walk around you have, or even your friends, what kind of things don't you know about them - their secrets, their problems, their thoughts, their real happiness, what drives them, what depresses them.
I for one know that although I am what I portray, I also have things that are hidden from most of the people I know. A person maybe all smiling and happy, but deep down inside, they might feel like the lousiest person on earth. Those murderers (blardy b*******s), they seem harmless by those around them, but in the end, they were the ones convicted.
Some people might share their problems, but are those the only problems they have, or do they have others which to them are their own responsibility to carry alone. Is there one person who shares all their problems? I don't. Even to the person closest to me. Why? Perhaps it is just the way I am, I just keep things to myself, swallow it whole until it gets to a point that it swallows me back. Or, perhaps I believe that my problem is small compared to those other people have.
Sometimes, when I listen to other people's worries and fears, and problems, it pains me. If it pains me, imagine how it is to the person shouldering it. I am honoured that some of my friends see me as strong enough to be their listening ear, and their shoulder to cry on, that some of my friends think I am wise enough to be asked for advice.

since u mention about strength.. not physically of coz.. the inner strength .. apparently, we always pass jdgements by what we see on the surface... In fact, putting up a strong front has been a social norm.. to prevent the stigma of being looked upon as weak (applicable to both males and females) Its a unconcious social pressure.. or an invisible set of expectations.. (u dun see it.. but u noe its there.. )
having to go through the hard way myself.. lesson learnt: - dun let pride get into the way of letting out whatever that's been weighing you down.. coz' trust me.. .. it wun save ur boat from sinking.. :-)
plainly to say.. sometimes we need to cry / breakdown / just let it all out (even tho' u noe the pther person is not able to solve teh problem for you directly).. to regain the strength.. and you will be amazed at how much u have forgotten that u still have your loved ones with you :-)
btw, ur my dear friend.. so.. there's no such thing as a problem is too trivial or too major to be shared.. dat's what friends do.. they care, they share, they listen, they trash it out together.. they DUN judge.. and dat's what friends are for .. :-)
and btw.. u lent me your shoulder wen im troubled.. cant i do the same for u? :-)... big hugzz
