Listen!

"For once in your life, I want you to listen to me!", she said. "No talking back, no interventions, no advices, no insights, no comments, no smarty expressions, no telling me to get over things, no thrusting your opinions on mine, no unwanted expressions, no stating the reality about the world. I want you to listen and only listen." She emphatically made a point.

"Maybe you don't understand but it takes a lot for me to open up to someone, anyone. It takes a lot for me to start trusting people. You may wonder what the big deal is and may even call me insane for the amount of trust issues I've got but it is what it is and there is literally only one way you can jump over the wall I've built for myself, that wall that would stop me from connecting with people. I've chosen to be this way. A way where I only let the people my conscience truly wants me to let in and as you probably can see, not a lot of people have made it to this side of the wall. And if you want to stay here, you might have to start to do the one thing that nobody else does.", she tamed her voice down.
"It's a lot easier to take the wiser side of the conversation. It's very simple, exceedingly simple to show me the reality of things, which by the bye, I'm very familiar with. It's the easiest to let me know what to do and advice me on how to make things better. In fact, I can do all that for myself. The one thing I'm not capable of doing for myself is listening to myself in a way my soul gets replinished. That's where, I want you to come in."
