Will You Be There ?


Anna Nalick

Dear Diary,

What are we without someone who cares, someone who listens and shares our pain? We are only but abandoned souls that seek shelter and protection. Lost and gone astray. Though we might have all that we need in life, but without that special someone by your side, you are not whole. A friend, a partner, a lover, a brother or a sister, to share joy and pain… to be there for you when your world falls apart and helps you put it back together!

Sometimes, talking about your problems to someone doesn't mean that you want or need help. The only help you are asking for in this case is "let me know that you are there for me". Giving advice won't help here, because there's nothing you can do in the first place. But if you just lean your shoulder, open your ears, and tell your friend that things will be okay, that is the greatest help you might provide. Especially for girls, girls need that. When a girl complains and cries because of a non-specific reason, she needs no advice, she needs no help, she just needs someone to care for her and be there for her.

Unlike men, they keep everything inside to themselves, because they know that they can deal with their own problems and no one else can. But when they talk about what's bothering them and the problems they have, then they are asking for advice!

Of course that is not always the case. So open up your ears and know your partner well so you can deal with them properly.
