I want to talk about the sad – talking about the sad make sad go away

Keywords: reflections , anxiety , blog , blogging , communication , growth , listening , relationships

How does one talk about their feelings when their feelings make them want to take a lifelong vow of silence? I got one solution – and that is supportive people. All you really need is a good listener. But this is harder said than done. I’m an absolutely garbage listener, my brain interjects with perspectives and comments every two seconds while someone is speaking. It’s a curse, and it’s taken me a long time to quell my natural anxious mind in favour of patient listening. I’m still on that journey, ladies and gentlemen.

How many writers & bloggers apply the Golden Rule to writing & blogging?

You might want to grab a cuppa for this one, because Imma take you on a bender with a long arc and it will probably be night time before we return home!

I distinctly remember becoming aware of how this is actually a violation of Jesus’ “Golden Rule” — in other words: we ought to listen to others, much in the same way that we want others to listen to us.

Yes: I just quoted myself — which is (IMHO) perfectly OK because I manage so many blogs that now and then I simply have to do it! 😛

Well, so I see that other blog post as the introduction to my topic here today, so if you haven’t seen it, then please hop on over and check it out (it opens a new page, so it’s absolutely no problem at all to get back here 😉 ). And it’s not terribly long, either.

My hunch (also known as a hypothesis) is that few bloggers read other blogs and probably fewer interact in a significant way. Mind you: I said bloggers — let alone the general population (who hardly seem aware that the internet exists beyond the realm of Google & Amazon & Netflix (wait a second — is that the INTERNET, too?). Marketers will trample all over anything that sounds even remotely social, but marketing is different than what regular folks do — isn’t it?

Still — none of these folks, whether regular or normal or abnormal or whatever, do much more than dip their toes in. Balls deep? Are you kidding me?

Before I make a short story long, let me cut to the chase. During the 4 weeks of the advent season leading up to Christmas, I plan to entertain different aspects of this question (“How many writers and bloggers apply the Golden Rule to writing and blogging?”) … and maybe I will even manage to arrive at some sort of conclusion before the year ends (hopefully we will not all be lost forever, right?).

Sounds good? SMASH that subscribe button! 😀

I want to share it but there’s not many people in my life wanting to hear about those types of things

Keywords: {0}

I don’t think my life is extraordinary or even slightly interesting. Nothing people want to read about. I live a pretty basic life but my overthinking has my thoughts all over the place and sometimes it’s easier to process and move on from things when you write about them.

I want to be heard

Keywords: {0}

I need somone like that yet I couldnt find one. I couldnt find someone… because Im annoying. Hard to understand. Jealous. Im weird. Says stuff that make people weirded. I am weird and every day i mask. I mask to be strong. I smile and take all in as if I am very okay. But I am not. I feel deprive. I feel lost. I feel sad. I feel mad. I feel left out. I feel horrible . Even no one do a bad thing. Even I have people around me. I am a burden. I am useless. I am done. I am stressed. I am weak. I cant beat all odds. I can’t be who I wanna be.

Listening to what I want to do, knowing that I have it all within me, and I can work to be at one with the highs and lows of living

Keywords: Wandering Wordsmith , no editing , poem , poetry , stream of consciousness

I wake up anxious, angry, and on edge, and the people in my house don’t help, since their mannerisms make me feel isolated in my own home, like I am never invited to anything, and I don’t have enough money, they are making more plans than me, taking advantage of life more easily, ready to dive in with a full night’s rest, and yet I am sleep deprived and on edge, taking in the noise outside of my bedroom, not feeling as if I have space to call my own, unable to sleep in or make plans to be solitary, since the activity in my house is audible, and I wonder if the same problems will continue when I live on my own […]
