i agree... its important to listen... not too many that do it... :/

i think optimism is sometimes ruined by people simplifying things into a few words.... dont get me wrong, what they say may actually be an answer... but i dont think there are these ~~**magical words**~~ that will reach everyone and change their lives. in one fell swoop.. not everyone has the right mentality at that moment to take in their message... usually these problems take time to resolve themselves because of unresolved emotions...

but my opinion is, i dont mind them too much nowadays... i take what i can from what they say, say i either understand or dont, and move on.... ive had too many moments where on some random occasion, what they say eventually makes sense, so i now try not to let my emotions get in the way of learning something new about myself... as much as i may hate it...
