Why blog?

Spreading your heart out to the world never helped anyone yet. And yet here I am pouring out the secrets of my petty life into a blog. The great thing though, is that I do feel better after I do this. In my extrablog life, I keep myself to myself. And get along pretty all right too.

Ok, so I don't have friends. No shoulder's to weep on, so to say. (But then who wants to weep anyway !) I am generally seen as the reserved type. Immune to feelings. Come on !

Maybe that is why I blog.

Loner, you're not alone. Well, I'm here for you. At times, I feel like I don't have any "TRUE" friends. I don't trust anyone, and the people that I think are my friends, will be the first ones to stab me in the back. So, I keep to myself.

I only trust in one person: GOD. Why? Because He promised me He would never leave me or forsake me. And guess what, He hasn't. How do I know this? Because if He did leave me way back when, I wouldn't be alive today.

I haven't poured out my heart in my blog. I haven't been really personal in my blog. Maybe, I will someday.

I hope today is a much better day for you.

Hey rain, I am sorry if I offended you. I was talking mostly about myself you know, in that part about "pouring". You are a very good person. And you know what one of the things that keeps me going is your blog.

I have this problem of mixing things up, personal and the rest. That confuses most people, including myself. Maybe it is the stress of appearing sane to the world and insane to the blog. I don't know.

Incidentally I took the liberty of linking to your blog right at the top of my own blog. I hope that is all right.

I know you are out there in case the world goes really whacky for me. Thank you, friend. You are right. There aren't many true friends out there. That stab in the back can come anytime.

Once again, I am sorry about the confusion.

Loner, no need to apologize. I wasn't offended at all. I didn't take it personally because I think I knew what you were tallking about.
Thanks for linking my blog. :-)

hey jil. Thanks. You have "real" point there. Bloglife is full of friends. Most of them are good too, unlike the kind you get in real life.

The Tree

The tree was fine when I saw it last time. I don't quite recollect how long ago that was. I do recollect the tree was fine. Now I see it again. All shrivelled up, The glorious leaves gone, So too the pride. It looks old, Maybe feels old, wasted, useless What happened to you, old friend? What bolt of destiny struck you down. I doubt you will ever hold that head up again Against the sky, against the wind, against time. But don't you worry. We are with you. Shrunk, shrivelled, shaken down No matter. We are with you.
Today was not particularly bad as days go. I had my usual share of being alone. Deep in the madding crowd. Sometimes I wonder who among the multitude teeming around me are actually of my special category - loners. We don't tell each other you see. And when we do tell, we use odd names, hmm. like loner2. My other life, the one everyone assumes is my real one, went off as usual. The same old crowd. The same old nonsense uttered all around. Everyone pretending to be the best guy or gal on the planet. Man, it is quaint. Oh, I forgot to mention this one. I need to tell about my dreams. Some people would call them nightmares. So brace yourself for some weird posts. Most of them are going to be disjointed, 'cause like most people I don't remember the dreams in full. But unlike Plato, I do know they are dreams. Maybe they ARE dreams. In fact I believe they are dreams. Just dreams.
Maybe loneliness implies detachment. This is not what an old comment on this blog says. It says loners are basically asocial beings with some hidden grudge in thier minds. I don't think so. May be there are loners of that version out there. But detachment is the phrase that has been on my mind for some days now. The true meaning of detachment is way beyond me. Embracing emotions, experiences. I don't know. May there is something in that.
