Of comfort and advices
Today, I talked to two different people about random things. In one conversation, we talked about how indirect communication can be the best way to mask one's emotions. I totally agree with this, it is the BEST WAY to pretend that you are happy, sincere or whatever emotion you want to give that person. Often times people pretend to be happy but in reality, they are sad. It's nothing new to us, hiding our emotions. Going back to the conversation with my friend, I didn't know she was in a bad mood until she told me and gave me her thanks for cheering her up. Although it was not really intended for that, I felt warm and fuzzy inside knowing that I can cheer up people who are secretly sad. Even if I can't see the face or body language of whoever I am talking to online, there are still vibes felt :) It depends though, on the relationship I have with the person or the current state of our relationship. If it's a rocky one, vibes are blocked off all the way. I know it's mean but it's some kind of self protection thing hahaha :)
Anyway, I had another conversation with a friend who is about to take an entrance exam tomorrow. He asked for some advise and I gave him two. I asked him what his dream school is and the courses he was applying for. It made me remember those days where I was in his shoes, I was nervous but I always forced myself to look like I was calm. Hahaha. I didn't get into the schools I wanted but at least I have a school now~ Encouragement and support, that's all I could give those who are about to take their exams. I know you all will do well. I can just feel it :)
