There\u2019s an unwritten rule that allows you to moan ferociously until you\u2019re blue in the face to your friends, and they\u2019ll simply listen, nod, and give their feedback in the form of sympathy, acknowledgement or advice. It\u2019s endless and enduring really – personally, I don\u2019t know how they continue to put up with me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friendships are special like that though – they are constantly evolving and developing, marked by key events and milestones, highs, lows, petty squabbles and random acts of kindness (sometimes in postal form). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve always had something to say – I\u2019ve never been a wallflower. But, what I find the hardest is talking about something really personal, or as I like to put it \u201ctalking about my girl feelings\u201d. And that is not to undermine femininity, or the art of expressing yourself and your feelings. It\u2019s more personal than that, it\u2019s the vulnerability it exposes me<\/em> to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve always loved a good moan (sounds really dodgy, obviously I mean in the ranting\/bitching sense) – but now I\u2019m learning to open up more. I\u2019m learning it\u2019s not only cathartic to speak to my friends about \u2018my girl feelings\u2019 (how are you really<\/em>?), but it\u2019s actually really necessary to release all of these pent up words, emotions and energies inside of me and channel them into something more positive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s that guilt you feel sometimes when you know you\u2019re on a verbal rampage, but in personally trying to decipher the underlying meaning yourself – here\u2019s my rant and this is what I think it could mean, or this is what I think I should do to resolve it, there\u2019s a much more productive and positive outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Or maybe that\u2019s what I\u2019m telling myself to justify my moans and rambling – either way, if I feel less negativity residing is it really a bad thing? Sorry friends, your ears and sanity won\u2019t be saved anytime soon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There\u2019s an unwritten rule that allows you to moan ferociously until you\u2019re blue in the face to your friends, and they\u2019ll simply listen, nod, and give their feedback in the form of sympathy, acknowledgement or advice.
