im a tool..

i am the person who people come and talk to about anything about their lives under the sun..
i usually hear the words " kapoy btaw kaau ted" or " kahibaw ba ka teddy.." or " ani ni siya, ted". All expecting me to listen to them. Well, i find that my purpose in most of my friendships. Im used to people telling me all about thier love lives, sex lives and even business lives and all is very interesting.. However, not very fulfilling..

Especially on the stories of people about thier love lives. I feel the pain that they are going through.. I Feel their regrets and share their anger but that just about all i am able to do as a friend. Because the real truth is that no matter how much advise or suggestions and opinions you give, it will never be enough for them to actually follow or to be heard. Example, my friend just broke up with her boyfriend for cheating on her.. As you just simply watch the tears flow and desperately find reasons to to hate the guy more, all that is in their head is all their good memories together and regrets. Dont you just hate that situations? Well,, after all the tears have passed, you then start sharing your ideas and suggestions on how to forget the guy. THEY DONT MATTER.. they only probably heard you at the start.. but dont plan to do or hear you out at all.

in these situations.. we are simply tools to let out all their anger and a listening ear to ease their burdens on.. I hate these situations, but it is our jobs.. but do you know whats worse? when this situation lasts for months! thats just simply tiring.. Get over it already!! its too much!

We know its its great to have an eager friends who is ready to listen to you and help you with the burdens that you carry.. but its just mere stupidity to be really dependent on them and not move on with your normal lives of just hanging out ang talking nonsense about everything that is nonsense.. (ahh.. the good ol times)
anyways.. theres got to be a limit to those situations.. No doubt, its great to be one of the first people you run to in your most troubled situations.. but just dont bring us down with yah..

thats in my perspective anyways..

So, in these situations.. whatever you say to them, whatever you do and however you sympathize with them.. it is still them who has to face the music and rise again from the ashes. Only they themselves can get over the break up and all that we can do is be that little back support that secures them from completely falling into depression..

Im a tool.. to a lot of people, im a tool.. and i know just what to do.. i listen.. thats all theres to it, to be a real friend.

rock and roll people!!
