I’m tired of people of bombarding me with ‘I know what you’re going through, I know how you feel.. it happened to me..’ I don’t care if you’ve been in this situation before. Why must everything I talk about go back to other person? Why can’t it be about me for once?

Can’t I have a little attention for once? I just want you to sit opposite me in a little cafe on a cold, rainy day with a coffee, just listening to me, letting me rant and shout abuse at you. I don’t need you to talk. I don’t need you to give your opinion or advice. I never asked for it.

I just need you to listen. You’ve always said, ‘I would love to know what goes around in that mind of yours..’ well here’s your chance. Just shut that big, exaggerating mouth of yours and listen.
