What To Talk About....

I'm not sure what to write about today. It's been one of those lazy days, but I have been deep in thought. I've been thinking how most people don't listen to others when they express their feelings. This isn't about me, necessarily, but I know what it's like to be told that I'm being understood, when, in fact, I'm not. I need to remember this feeling when the tables are turned, and I'm faced with someone who just needs me to listen and not give my opinion or observations. Just listen.

This is definitely one of my weaknesses. I try to pay attention, but my mind constantly wanders. So I can't be pissed when I'm not being heard, if I'm guilty myself of the same crime. But when I do hear something I don't agree with, should I keep my mouth shut, especially if I'm talking to a minor? It's not like I'm an expert at life, but I don't want to sit idly by and watch someone potentially make a huge mistake and not intervene. When do you butt in? When it involves young adults, it's sooo tricky.

Well, it's so complicated, I think I just need to lighten up and not worry about it, for now.

So, I'm grateful for:

stories

music
