Julie’s question for the week is this –
Can you describe yourself as a friend? Or how do your friends describe you as a friend?
Sounds a a bit hard question for me to answer. 
I wish it’s my friends who can answer it for me but somehow i will try.
- I believe am an all-weather friend even a no weather friend that i try my best to be there for a friend at all weather.
- I can be approached anytime or talked to anytime. Bad talks ends with me but good talks can reach the right person is possible.
- I think am very friendly and kind that at some point i knew that am abused or misunderstood. But often I feel for a friend – be it good or bad. At times I even fight for a friend if i need to.
- Am secretive as possible especially when it comes to problems. I seldom approach a friend with my problems. No friend can know my problem unless am asked and even if asked, i tried not to share if i can still bear it on my own. So that’s one thing they like in me – strong even am carrying the whole world in my shoulders.
- Friends comes to me when they are well and even if they are not well and at times they expect that i can solve the problems for them. They think i always have words to their problems but actually i don’t have but i often have my share of thoughts which make them feel better and in some way it makes me feel better too. Sometimes i wish am that open too so that i often hear words of comfort – but that’s not me. If i can talk all to that someone then he or she must be lucky.
Hmm what more? Can’t think of more because my friends have it and the above am describing are words of my friends here at work or even when i was still in school.
Blessed week-end ahead everyone!
It helps both ways to be secretive and not secretive. If one secretive, at least, you feel you don’t burden your friends with your problems. But then if you tell them, even if they don’t ask, who knows, they might be able to help you, even with the encouraging words that they will tell. But of course, the downside is they might even confuse you with your decisions
Thanks for answer, Arlene. I am so glad I have met you, even if its only virtually.
im sure your friends have the same thought in mind.
