Through Their Lenses

 Goodbye to maths statistics!!! Wkaka. :) I wish I had a lil' bit more time this afternoon but i guess what's done is done. All I can do is move on. Go go go! :D

Actually this post was saved as a draft for 2 days already. Neways, I was blog-hopping that day, just hoping that I'd find something new to read or updates of others. Then, I stumbled upon a random person's blog (someone who I dunno personally) and it made me realise how there are always others out there who share similar thoughts and feelings as we have. :) Even if coming across such people in real life may happen to exist in numbers of a few, one or even none at all.

That's when I discover many things through the extensive mass media in which I can relate to them in some ways or another. To me and like everyone else, I think we have different matters that truly concern us but whatever they are, one thing that's common is that it takes a deep place in our hearts. Thoughts that we ponder when we take a step back from the world and reflect on.

 It encompasses our reserved feelings and thoughts that we so often wish to share with our closed ones or at least someone whom we think we'd feel safe to keep our thoughts and feelings with. But sometimes, time and distance doesn't allow us to or they're left unspoken because we choose to keep them to ourselves. For some of us, we choose to voice our feelings and thoughts on the net. Sometimes, for the mere reason of wanting to just spill those words out to feel at ease without really expecting any opinion or anything. Then there's people like me who kepoh around and find comfort in other people's thoughts. Just like earlier, I read someone's posting and it actually kinda touched my heart. To know that, I wasn't the only one who would have felt troubled under those similar circumstances (especially regarding things we always thought as petty but actually isn't).
Thanks to the random person. :)

Like in my case, generally, expressing my feelings to others is just not my forte. I dunno if its me or just something out of habit, opening up doesn't come out that easily and naturally for me. Its bad cos for this reason, I'm often misunderstood. Sometimes also, when I say something aloud, it turns out differently from what I actually want to say and thisss, is the part I find myself frustrated abit sometimes. Sounds dum dum I know, but its true. Haha. So I really feel at ease if I get to write my feelings out instead, like on a blog or somewhere. Its much easier compared to verbal face-to-face talking (unless I am in that "deep talk zone"). But like blogging, I still have to take a long time to blog cos I need to go through what I write and see if that's what I actually am trying to say. Otherwsise, re-write lor which wastes loads of time (Like this post for example). But I think after going through Form 6, I feel that I can actually open up a little bit more towards people if I feel safe and secure. I've even become much noisier and Nosier?? Loll. Kddins bout the the latter. Hehee :)

So after 2 days since I read the post, I still feel the inspiration to mention it although I dunno if there's anything significant in saying these. Like how sometimes, I feel that kind of glad, thankful feeling when a person talks to me and indeliberately say something that's on their mind which I can relate all too well and its something I thought of too but never said out aloud. How I really appreciate it when people share stories or anything with me even when I may have little or nothing to add on. How its encouraging and inspiring to find that through virtual spaces with non-verbal contexts, mass media and people on social media, there are others sharing the same thoughts and feelings as I do. It may not always describe exactly all that I think or feel but at least I get to read something that reflects me in somewhere between those lines. The thought of "So true" and "Me too" upon seeing a person's posting.

 Thanks to them, I get to see myself and my world through theirs.:)
