Alone No More
For the past few weeks, I have underwent a different kind of depression and loneliness. One that did not interfere much with my activities but made me think a lot about many things that have been happening in my life for the past few months. I felt that I was the most misunderstood person and that no explanation or reason can make my actions right or at least jusified. What's worse is that I don't know to whom I will share these problems with. My bestfriends (2 Ks in my life) are quite busy with their own schoolwork and careers and I would not like to bother them with my so-called follies. On the other hand, I would not like to bother my family about it either since they have their own duties to fulflill.
I'm just glad that I belong to a block which is more like a second family to me. Amidst all these problems, they have been more than willing to help me or support me despite the fact that I can't disclose to them everything due to some personal reasons. I'm talking about the Friday Night Secret Society (hihihi...excuses for the lame choice of group name). Anyway, for the past few weeks, we have been sharing with each other our own share of problems and achievements for the week. Whenever we meet, I feel that we have known each other for a very long time since there was this certain openness that I rarely see with a group of friends. Everything was discussed over dinner - from nonsense jokes to serious problems. After sharing, we are able to laugh out all the stress we have been enduring for a week or get a word or two of encouragement from each other. These all mean a lot to me because though my "co-members" may not know about it, their mere presence every Friday night gives me that sense of assurance that I am not alone.
Thank you Ochie, Shy, Ayen, Leah, Arika, Apple, Dianne, Menen and Gelo for making me feel welcome. Your jokes, pats on my shoulder, and advice make me end the week with a smile and make me look forward for the days to come.
