Pit-Stop
Posted on 06.09.10 to Personal by JoanWhile life has been great generally, there have been days when I wish that the ground would open up and swallow me whole. And because I generally don’t like a whiner, I retreat till I spiral into this ridiculous freefall into depression and won’t realise that I’m going through a hard time till it’s too late, i.e., wishing that the ground would swallow me whole.
In times like this, I’m very thankful for friends who check-in to ask how my sanity is holding up. I feel awful that whenever they do, I unload a whole load onto them at a speed of 0-1000 words in 5 seconds. But they are really life’s little blessings because they not only listen patiently, they deconstruct, offer sound advice and affirm again that I can always reach out to them.
Sometimes I forget, but I’m grateful that they don’t.
