Online Can Be Painful
I have been thinking about many things in my mind, I write an awful lot,
it is a way for me to express my feelings, to relieve anger and to cope
with hurts, disappointments, frustrations and to try at times to capture
the electrifying emotions of friendship, love and passion from the heart.
On this page and I'm sure more to come I'm deciding to vent my views
and my views only on certain emotions and feelings that may be inside
of me at the time, so please just bear with me.
This evening I was thinking about how long I've been online, at times it
feels like forever, at other times it seems like I've just been here a
short time. No matter that, I do know that along the journeys I've gone
through I've met some very wonderful people and had a whole new world
opened up to me. One of the amazing things about being online is that
you can meet people from all over the world and can learn so much about
places you've never been.
It's very easy to become friends with the people here online, for you
spend so much time communicating, revealing, sharing, laughing and
yes..even crying at times. I think one thing we tend to forget at times
is that there are real people sitting at their computers and their
feelings are just as fragile and just as real as if you were sitting
right there beside them.
Some of us come online for the friendships, some for fun, some for
mischief. No matter the reasons we seem to find those others out there
that we bond with and seem to always look for, always wish to learn
more of and yes, these people we do call friends. We can reveal our
dreams, our fears...so many things. Maybe it's easier to actually sit
and write these things out without speaking them, maybe it's because
we seem to find those people who are like ourselves and we feel we can
truly be free and open with them...actually I'm not sure why, but I do
know that it happens and we cherish these times.
Of course we have our problems and times with these friends, just as we
do in real life. No one always has perfect days and sometimes we just
don't see eye to eye on all issues and then we can snap and growl and
say things to hurt another. It's not that we mean to, but sometimes we
do so without thinking. That has been on my mind tonight, for I have
had some friends going through some hard times. How I wish to be there
for them, wish that I could help. I myself have not always had good
days and I've snapped in a foul mood and said things that I wished
later I hadn't of said...to those that I have done that to, I am truly
sorry.
But do we become so wrapped up in our own pain at times to totally push
these people, these friends away? Yes, sad to say sometimes we do and
that is painful. When someone just totally decides to disappear it's
hard for different reasons. One being that they isolate themselves away
from these people who have grown to care for them, the other is that it
hurts these people too. Who in the world is so rich that they can not
be bothered when they lose a friend? I'm not going to speak for anyone
else, but I know that friends and people that I care about are the
things that mean more to me than any amount of money or riches ever
could. I shall stop this rambling now, but this is my plea...before
you do or say things because you are hurting, please take the time to
remember those friends out there who can become just as hurt by your
actions. Know and remember all the times that you have shared
together and please don't throw that away, for friendship makes us all
a little more wealthy in this life.
