Imma Happy Sponge :D

I just realised an awesome way of seeing things and it involved a balloon, punching bag and a sponge :D

Well why so random? Cuz i realised that most people would do this for a friend...they would be there for them and when their friends are in trouble they will be there to take it...sometimes when their fren is angry or sad they will also be there to "absorb" the hit...but the difference come when you do the "absorbing" like a balloon, a punching bag or a sponge.

Lets start with a balloon. If you're a balloon, you will still be able to absorb it...and as you absorb you grow from it and "get bigger"...however when you're fren pour so much into you, be it anger or sadness...you take in more and more and eventually you burst from the tirade of feelings...this i feel is really dangerous and i believe theres always a "balloon" in each of us...we are humans and can only tolerate so much before we fight back.

So what if you're a punching bag? well yesh you can still take loads of hits frm your frens...but you never change...a punching bag is not gonna change much no matter how many punches you throw at it...and if you are a punching bag you are not changing..you're just a void, empty stone that is not feeling anything...you're just blindly taking the hits and not bothering to react to it...this one is similar to indifference...where yes, you're still there for your friends but you're nothing more than a stone, present beside him, but not really listening and understanding.

So to me the best (which i will try to be frm now on) is a sponge...not only does it sound cute :P you are an effective friend. A sponge is a soft thingy that is able to be manipulated...but the amazing thing is no matter how much squeezing and punching...it always returns back to the same shape...so when you're friends are sad or angry and pouring out their feelings like water...you are able to absorb it...but how come you dont burst? well cuz sponges have little holes that allow "feelings" to enter and exit. you are able to allow the feelings in but also be aware of your limits. not only that you know how to release some of these feelings away when you feel that its too much. When you're fren is angry and is "punching" you...you're able to take the hit, yes you may change form but soon you will be back to normal...always a consistent friendship...thats awesome :D

So i realized that in my life sometimes friends end up taking out their anger on me, pouring me their sadness or sharing their happiness...im lucky for such friends but what makes me happier is that im able to "absorb" their feelings appropriately :D Sometimes i do feel the strain but i realized that what i need to do is to reinforce my will of the friendship and confidence in it..and that would tide me thru and "release" the stress

Well i hope that i can follow up this methods from now im...anyway im also looking for my "spongy" friends that is able to absorb my nonsense...thankfully i do have some...but i hope is enough...this periods not gonna be easy...I gained a sponge 1 year ago around now...and lost that sponge about 4 months later...maybe im just looking for another spongy friend that is like the one i lost...but for now..im ok...i guess :P
