Got 2 friends that are not in a good mood, feeling moody i guess. Either from work or things that have been happening recently to them. When they tell me their problems, at times i feel helpless, coz it seems like i can't give them any help or support to make them feel better. =( But i can say that i'm a good listener! =)
So the 2 passages below are delicated to my 2 friends, they may not be of any help to you all at all, but i still hope that both of you will feel better, knowing that no matter what, there is still me as ur friend willing to lend you a listening ear anytime. And also your other friends and family members that love you for who you are! =)
To Yan Li:Sometimes in life of course we do encounter things or incidents that makes us feel very frustrated. Be it at home or somewhere else. If we can't do anything to change how things are already or how the adults are handling the matter, all we can do is to keep a positive mind and try to make ourselves fit into the situation. I know, these kind of things is easier said than done. But still you have to try to do that. Being sad, angry, frustrated, irritated --- all these negative feelings are of no good to our body and mind! right?! Alright, even if all the above that i've said are not going to work, just know that i'm always here for you, willing to lend you my listening ear whenever you need it. I may not be good at words to cheer people up, but i believe that just by saying out the things that are bothering you, making you sad and irritated, you will definitely feel much better than for you to be bottling all those inside yourself! =) Cheer Up! I'm sure all the bad things will subside soon enough and you could be happy that you haven been through all that as those are the things that make you more growns up--Life Experiences, that's what we call those.
To Ghislaine:Hey, know that you are depressed over work today. No matter what happen, don't think low of yourself. You are definitely not someone that is difficult to get along with either at work or in school! In life, whether in school or at work, there are definitely going to be people that you can get along with, and those that you can't get along with. Those that look down on you and those that don't. We can't do anything to change people's mindset, but we can compromise and make the best of the situation, keeping conflict at its minimal. So whenever you encounter difficulties, don't always think that you yourself is not good! Keep a positive mindset to be willing to accept challenges and criticisms from others. It is from all these that we grow and learn. No matter what, whenever you need someone to talk to, feel free to look for me, no matter how busy i am. I'll still lend you my listening ear. =)
