I have recently posted on Facebook (www.facebook.com) : Describe me in one word, and be honest, Thanks.
I have had words like : WOnderful (nice!) , Beloved (didnt really get it), Cute and short.
but I realised I haven't really had any pertaining to my inner characteristics, character or personality wise that is straight to the point. This, I admit, can be rather saddening. I mean, I expected perhaps 10 replies? or perhaps everyone is just too busy. But this also brings a very important point into focus. Have I not really made really true friends?
I have to come clean on one point, I'm really cautious when it comes to friends. sometimes I would rather build a wall then to let anyone know my exact thoughts. Truth is I haven't had trustworthy friends from my growing years and over time, perhaps it has grown into a defensive mechanism and a wall I build around myself to shield myself from others. At times I'm so tempted to share my feelings and thoughts with a friend but almost invariably, I will force myself to swallow it down and solve my own problems, not realizing over time it has isolated me on an island and the horrifying truth is, I'm lonely. Been too busy working, been too busy dating perhaps, been too concentrated on my own personal successes that I forgot to care for my friends as well, thinking once in awhile, meeting the person up will suffice. Truth is, I've lost many and the title of Miss popularity is seriously a misnomer.
It's in my fervent hope that in my last proper summer break as a undergraduate before my final year starts, I start my journey of reconnections, reconciliations and finding those that really matter.
