Should i or shouldn't i?

In a most unusual and uniquely unconventional development in my mood today, i have decided to write about something common and mainstream but nonetheless serious. At least to me it is.

Topic of discussion (by a panel of distinguished members consisting of Me and a Mirror):

Your friend is engaged in a potentially harmful (physically & emotionally) 3-way affair (love triangle) - Should you give him your 10cents worth? Please comment.

Answer:-

(a) Probably when i'm drunk. Cos i did and it conveniently stuffed itself back in my arse.

On a more sober note, it'd be perfect if i can openly say what i feel or think without having my opinions or suggestions eat into his ego or pride(the difference being...?). But how can it not if you're verbally-stomping on a probable life decision?

How do you weigh the necessary and filter the trivial?

Short of sounding like a nag, you are obligated to give a rat's ass on what he's deciding because after all - despite the impending doom his decision might bring upon him - he is your friend.

On the contrary however, it is his life. And the best things do not come without risk. How ironic when at the same time you're gambling on the relationship.

Looking back, i have never opened myself up to my friends nor anyone in particular. Not even those closest to me. Therefore i expected a lot of awkwardness in facing such a situation. But time has taught me to cherish relationships. And im grateful that that line had been crossed before, albeit a totally unexpected outcome. I realised my friend just needed a bit more time to get life back in order.

A few weeks ago he said, "Take it easy. I hope to see you guys still together when i come back." I blushed. Don't get me wrong but guys don't normally get such things from other guys. At least i don't. Instantly i recalled the open squabbles me and Bb had. Made me appreciate what i have but wished he also shared. How sincerity warms you up like rays of a rising sun.

It seemed natural letting the conversation end after that. Maybe he feels the same way?

Short...

Sweet...

Apt.

Now it's my turn. To show him the light, its embrace and the overwhelming warmth a few sincere words can give. That's the plan.

[I do realise that so far, i am not answering the question, nor am i remotely close to adressing the issue. Still, penning these thoughts down gave me so much satisfaction.]

I have yet to decide on what to say to him. But i will. Cos he is a friend, and a bloody great one at that. I believe i owe it to him that much.

Now, if only i knew when i should start with all this?
