The feeling is so strong, we are consumed by our thoughts, negative thoughts from the past all of a sudden creeps in and we &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; know why and what to do. We just know we feel this sadness inside. When I see someone in pain, cant help but reach out to that person, a friend, a stranger, or someone in need. How do we help them? I see myself in someones pain or sadness. I can relate. I may not have all the answers, may not know what to say or do in times like this, but I think just being there for that person, listening, comforting helps a bit. To all the lonely souls, the sad ones, know that you're not alone. It's natural to feel sad sometimes and it's &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;OK&lt;/span&gt; to reach out to others. I'll end this with a quote, "This too shall pass."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/594663974618369539-2031782213151318329?l=brilliantc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brilliantc.blogspot.com/feeds/2031782213151318329/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=594663974618369539&amp;postID=2031782213151318329' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/594663974618369539/posts/default/2031782213151318329'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/594663974618369539/posts/default/2031782213151318329'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brilliantc.blogspot.com/2008/05/sadness.html' title='Sadness'/><author><name>brillc</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16128043833362918009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594663974618369539.post-7014329544961906389</id><published>2008-05-09T20:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-09T21:28:25.918-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Today</title><content type='html'>Hmmmm... First blog and I have no idea what to put. I'm alone right now. Bored and lonely. Parents went out of town to our old house. One thing about being lonely is that my mind start to think about crazy things but mostly I get lazy. hehe *smirk on my face* :D Was hoping one of my friends would call me to hang out, watch movie, cook out, or whatever. I just want to be out of the house. I called my friend to see whats up but shes sick. Poor thing. Hope she gets better soon.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to my dear friend Gracey, who introduce me to this site. I now have my own blog. It's weird really since I've never done blogging before. I tried to but kinda hesitant to write everything on my mind, what I feel, experiences, and such. And I've never really think of myself as a good writer as far as grammar and technique goes. I think this will be good for me though. Another form of outlet.&lt;br /&gt;Till next time...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/594663974618369539-7014329544961906389?l=brilliantc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brilliantc.blogspot.com/feeds/7014329544961906389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=594663974618369539&amp;postID=7014329544961906389' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/594663974618369539/posts/default/7014329544961906389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/594663974618369539/posts/default/7014329544961906389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brilliantc.blogspot.com/2008/05/today.html' title='Today'/><author><name>brillc</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16128043833362918009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
