a listening ear


People blog for different reasons.


I blog because no one's there to listen to me.


So far, even months after coming to terms with my own sexuality, i still have no one i can talk to bout the stuff i wrote here. Sure, a few of my close friends knew bout me being gay, but i just can't bring myself to talk to them bout some things. They are still getting used to me being gay, and besides, they won't fully understand me anyway.


And of course there are the lots of people like me i got to know online. Yet, my student life being so busy i hardly have time to sleep, i rarely get the chance to chat with any of them, let alone become close friends. Them being just random people i know, i can't just load my emotional burden onto them out of nowhere.


Which ends up with me keeping everything within myself.


And it got worse when i got into a relationship. I have absolutely no one to turn to when i want to talk bout my relationship. No one to share my joy, no one to listen to me rant. Every time something goes wrong, i have no one to cry to besides him. But i know he has his own emotional burden to handle, and i can't just overload him with mine. And i can't talk bout him to him.


My emotional burden grew so huge within me, that i broke down so much the past few months. This being the first time i ever got into a relationship, i really don't know how to handle the emotional strains. And it got him worried most of the time. Sorry.


So each time i got emotional, i blog. Sometimes, kind people drop comments. Sometimes, nobody cared. But that doesn't matter.


Because as long as i got it out of my heart, it feels so much better. Even when no one understands, no one's listening, my blog will always be here.





Still, it'll be nice to have someone who'll listen to me once in a while.

Dear Senaiboy, there's always people out there willing to listen to you. Find someone you can truly trust (after knowing the person for a long time) and I'm sure the person will be more than happy to share your burden.
Finally I came back from a long holiday; read that you found out that you were the third person, unknowingly. I'm sorry to hear that your first relationship was marred by such event. It's not your fault, remember that. It's him who cheated on you. If you still trust him, let's hope that there'll be no fourth or fifth person. Don't let a person who betrayed you once, to betray you twice, so said Donald Trump.

See? There are people who are listening to you :)
