Being a (Good) Ear
Assalamu'alaikum wbt and annyeong, peeps!
It's rather a gloomy day today. When should I do my laundry then? Hmmm
Being someone who is a good listener in the group is a bless for some people, and also for me. I like being trusted for you to tell your problems and feelings to. It makes me feel trusted and loved. And I seriously like that. And not only that, I also like to give comforting or motivating words, depends on your preferences and needs at the moment. The feeling is great when you are able to help someone who seriously needs the comfort and presence of someone who cares for them.
But I don't know for others though, sometimes when you have so many people confessing, pouring everything to you, you can feel more or less the same burden as them. For me, I can keep those 'burdens' for a short period of time to as long as I can keep them inside. And this can indirectly affect me. Slightly or deeply. But when it comes to contact with my own problems and burdens, I can easily explode.
Being a good listener is nice and all, but you could not find another good listener that would listen to you when you need the ears the most. As a good listener, I know how it feels to be one. Sometimes people would not trust you. Sometimes you would know that people aren't telling you enough. Sometimes they kept on pouring everything on you. I really don't mind that. But I do mind if someone would judge me for what I'm saying to them. Honestly writing, I do judge people, but it depends on the situation. However, I would not judge too quickly without listening to the other part of the story.
Okay back to the story. I also have problems of my own. And I seriously do need an ear or two to tell them to. Well, of course some people would say 'Go and talk to your Creator. He's a better listener.' I know. I know that I should talk to Him and I always confess to Him but forgive me, it's not enough. I do need comfort and love from another person who would gladly listen to my ranting and such. Sometimes I would just cry because I don't know who I should tell my problems to. Judge me, but yeah, crying is my comfort zone sometimes.
What I would want to say is I like--really really like being trusted to be a good listener for someone, but sometimes I, too, need the ears who are willing to listen to mine. I'm still a human being and I really need the TLC (tender, love and care) from someone that would honestly care for me. But don't let this be the reason for you not to let everything out on me. I love listening to people and I love giving out words that would comfort and motivate you. Just that, if you can be my listener, I would gladly accept that. Smile.
That's all. Thanks for reading to all my rantings.
