cha cha cha

why hello there! inspiration and a partially debilitating headache has sparked inspiration for a post on this sadly fading blog.

the thought occurred to me through the fog clouding my brain. we all give and receive advice from our friends. be it advice about relationships, jobs, clothing choices, the right facial cleanser, everything really. but what struck me was...has it all become a bit too self righteous?

when a friend comes to us in their need for a sensible ear, does that give us the right to bandy about our own opinion of what we would do in such a situation? well of course it does...but sometimes the help seeker just needs someone to hear them out. unfortunately a person in a vulnerable situation will take any advice that comes floating their way, without taking the time to really think about whether it is what they want. even if the advice is literally being forced upon them. anything to hang on to that ever fading sense of control. ok so i'm being a bit melodramatic. but it happens.

now i am one amongst the many who hand out advice like freebies at the train station...but find it all too hard to swallow said advice. i wondered if this was a sign of hypocrisy, inaction, contradiction. i guess it feeds into that old cliche...all talk and no action.

maybe it's about time to take action. enough with this talk business. it hurts my head.
