You, all you do is talk about yourself and your problems and zone out when I speak of mine. Do you know how close I came to telling you about him before? Many times. But then I’d see that distant look in your eyes, signaling thoughts about your own life and I’d give up. I’m aggressive and so my usual reaction would be to raise my voice and confront the situation but not for this because I have this rational belief. This rational belief is that if someone cares, I shouldn’t have to teach him/her to be less self involved and I certainly shouldn’t have to instruct him/her on the complicated art of listening. I know it’s hard to not think about yourself but with training, I believe you can do it. I feel like we all have this strength within us that can aid our efforts to do the impossible, like thinking of others. You can do it. I believe in you and I believe in overcoming obstacles. You mother fucker.
