Just to share...

How much do I want to share,
when it comes to things that make me glad?
Many, maybe...
To spread the happiness that I have.
I hold back and think again.
How much do people want to know,
about the happy things that I face?
Yes, they can be happy for me.
Yet, I may be hurting someone who are not as fortunate as me.
Then, why should I share?

How much do I want to share,
when it comes to things that make me sad?
Many, maybe...
To have people to know what I am undergoing.
But, I hold back and think again.
How much do people want to know,
about the sad things that I face?
Yes, they can be willing to be there to listen.
Yet, I may be adding on to the problems they have.
Then, why should I share?

How much do I want to share,
when it comes to things that make me flare?
Many, maybe...
To have people to pacify me.
Right, I hold back and think again.
How much do people want to know,
about the provoking things that I face?
Yes, they can be willing to calm me down.
Yet, I may be offending them with the harsh words I put across.
Then, why should I share?

Just how much is there for us to share,
when it comes to uncovering the thoughts and feelings
that run deep into our hearts...?

These all make perfect sense to me. I understand and its confusing isn't it? Maybe it's part of being tactful? but how does tact work when your in an emotional state or hurting or laughing out loud, or feel like your heart is ripping apart? Difficult call, difficult situations. I face most of them alone anyway(I think a lot do these days) so I write it all down a lot just like you. I hope to meet people someday soon in my life who will actually want to "share" and have a halfway decent two way converstion for "real". Is that possible? Or is everyone just "too busy"? Your thoughts remind me of mine at times. Other times I'm learning from what your writing. Thank you Dreamingfirefly.

Angel Blessings,

Rhiannon

I really like this one, how much does one really can share. Can we really share how we feel without hurting the others? Just when we thought that both of you understand each other, there might be miscommunication and in the end, both thought they understand, which they don't.

Dear Rhiannon,
I am sure such a person exists...
Someone who is willing to share with you, to listen to you and of course to have a decent 2-way conversation with you...
Though not directly in person, I am enjoying my "conversation" with you through our blogs...
(^-^) Keep believing, Earth Angel!
(Note: A little busy lately; Will be dropping by less frequently.)

Hello, Chloe...
Are you the same Chloe that popped by previously?
Nevertheless, thank you for dropping by... =)

Right, I agree.
True communication and true understanding is hard to achieve.

Still, I guess we really gotta try our best in putting ourselves in others' shoes and learning to see in others' views.
Maybe, this can help us understand people and their actions better.

Yet at the same time, there is a need to re-evaluate ourselves.
To find out more about ourselves.
To correct our wrongs. To better our rights.

My reaction (not advice, just my take on waht you've said)

That's a common bind. Guess it depends on where you decide to draw the line on being your brother's keepers. Really no one is omniscient and can't be held responsible to matching other people and predicting what they will feel. Got to live as sensitively as doesn't harm yourself and let others deal as they will.

Pearl,
Thank you for dropping by and definitely for your sharing.

Yes, and I do agree.
Sometimes, people just want and have to protect themselves and others from getting hurt.
I must say, this is indeed necessary. =)
