Listen.

You know I'm not generally looking for advice when I tell you my stories, when I share my plight, when I get vulnerable with you, when I open up to you. I don't need to hear the words "move on" from you when I am at my weakest because when you do that, you're not just pointing out to the obvious but making me distance from you.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

Because I know, and I will move on at some point. And right now when I share my stories, I just want you to listen. I don't want your sympathy, I don't want your compassion, and I certainly don't want your pity in the form of your advice. Because to me, when you ask me to move on and when you tell me that that's how this world works, you are making me lose hope. Lose the little hope that I still have in people, people like yourself.

Listening is a skill. A skill that has great potential to bring people together. A skill that can nurture a bond and make it stronger than ever. A skill that can make people feel at home with each other. But nobody has got time for that these days. Because everyone only wants to be listened but never want to listen. I only l wonder we tend to live such hypocritical lives.

Lots of love, peace.
