Good day friends, how is your day going? Did you
get to help someone out yesterday? Well, I did and I’m really glad I did.
The way life is set up, nobody really is an
island. No matter how hard we try to withdraw ourselves from people and live in
solitude, we cannot deny that sometime, if not all the time, we just want
someone to reach out to us and let us know we are not alone in our constant
struggles. I understand people who find it hard to share their problems due to
the fear of being misunderstood or judged but at the same time, the very old
saying that a problem shared is half solved still remains valid. Some of us
have gotten solutions to certain immediate problems just by sharing with a
friend and even if not a solution, that feel of not being alone in a
predicament might be a step to getting out of it.
So today, we are all going to take a step outside
our cubicle. I said ‘cubicle’ because I know many of us have withdrawn into a
kind of shell (just you alone without interference) and we just prefer not to
share our problems. We’ll have to step out from our cubicle a bit today without
any reserves. We are going to foster some trust with at least one of our
friends and make them a confidant. No, don’t be scared of being judged. Do not
bottle it in. You’d be amazed at how better you’ll feel. This is the challenge!
Get across to someone (Friend, sibling, parent, anyone)
Confide in them, totally. Bare it all!
Watch yourself get better.
Note: If you can’t think of someone, holla at

ear.
