One way street

 

Maybe I should be less concerned about the things happening around me.

More often than not, I'd quickly and readily lend my listening ear, whenever I got to know that my friends are troubled, sick or feeling down. Even if I'm preoccupied with things myself.

I'd try to comfort and offer whatever advice I could give.

I'm not sure if any of these helped to cheer them up or make them feel better but that's how I would react when the people around me don't feel so well.

Maybe it's a mistake to do so.

I know that when you do things, you shouldn't expect anything in return. But sometimes I wonder, I've been trying my best to make the people around me feel better when they are down, when it comes to my turn, will they do the same for me?

Recent experiences tell me no.

Sometimes, I'm tired of this being a one way street. The phrase, "Do unto others as you would have them unto you," has somewhat lost its meaning.

Maybe I should care less. Or maybe, I'm expecting too much? I don't know.

Can't wait to meet up with my colleagues later for some games of football, hoping that it will rid off some of the negativity that's residing in me.

Ciao.

haha, feeling a little bit like me alrd huh? sians of giving help to others but then getting back nothing in return even when in the first place you shouldnt be expecting anything? but it's only human to want what we do to others be done back to ourselves, in a good way of course.

Haha. Kata partners in crime. So, feeling tu mesti similar ah. Haha.

True, but yeah, sometimes can't help it. Feels like I'm all alone in this world, esp when I'm feeling down.

Oh well. ��
