Last night, my brother sent me a message, small talk about a painting in London.
Haha akala daw ng friend nya akin yung nakita nila dun.
My mother sent "Okay ka lang ba, anak?" yesterday.
My cousin said " Hello ware Gini, how are you?" last week.
My bestfriend greeted "Oy, Parekoy .... " a few days ago.
And then we talked for few minutes and then pooof. They made me happy, they made my day.
Those conversation made me realize that I don't often talk to people first. Yeah, I don't initialize conversations especially when it's not group/work-related.
My parents, siblings, friends, cousins and some acquaintances even strangers always approach me first, but I, I don't. As in ngayon ko lang napansin.
But I always enjoy listening or reading their messages. After that, balik sa dati, maghihintay na lang uli ako ng notification sa messenger or phone calls.
Long time ago, I thought people don't like me because they will just contact whenever they need help or something. That made me pitty myself. Bad. I just didn't realize that I also need to reach out and say "Kumusta Ka Kaibigan?" would spark some light into someone's day, be it a normal or a bad day.
Idk if this makes sense. The bottomline is, some people feel lonely because we only think that people should always make the first move to communicate or socialize with us. But we don't realize that we just also need to open our minds and try to reach anyone and try to talk about life or small things. Maybe that would lighten up your mood, even just a little. ~
