I was lost in a dream



Would amazing pieces such a this satisfy my love for Art? For now, it would just have to do.

A few days ago, one of my girlfriends confided in me about something that has been... driving her nuts, so to speak. Being best friends with her since we were babies in diapers, has showed just how much of an open book she really is. When something is not right, her emotions betray her and are thus shown on her face. But it's not necessarily such a bad thing, really, because even though she tries to hide it as much as possible, at least I'll have a glimpse of what she's going through.

I'm not sure whether I should rant about the situation out here, in fear the anonymous identity I'd used would be revealed, let alone be used against me but, at the same time, it would be unlike me if I did nothing either. So, since it would jeopardize my identity, I would only be able to share little fragments of this situation.

It's a guilty pleasure for people to pine on other people's miseries. It's satisfying to watch them pay for what they might or might not have done to us. It's the adrenaline rush you get when drama - people fighting, arguments - is/are occurred right before your eyes. It's human nature.
But... it's also considered as a mean thing to do. It's really shallow of some people who don't seem to have any compassion towards the people whose lives they may be destroying. It's just not satisfying to watch someone, you were once close to, suffer the consequences of what you have done. Her whole life, reputation might get destroyed. Even more so, if the truth wasn't the truth after all.

I believe there's always a limit to whatever situation you may be facing. There just has to be. Otherwise, there won't be any semblance of of peace left.

So, please, If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. Treat people the way you would want to be treated.
