Day 308

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I have been learning that the world does not revolve around me.  I am not the center of the universe.  But I am here to make my footprint on this earth.  I want to be able to help others, by giving myself.  Like the above phrase says.  I am not a therapist, but I will listen and I do genuinely care.  You listened to me when I needed an ear, so one thing I can give back is my ear. Here is another saying I found. "When you talk, you are only repeating what you know. But if you listen, you may learn something new."  Sometimes silence is a cry for help, so I need to be more aware of people and their feelings. Not everyone cares about my problems, But if I talk and you listen, I will do the same for you.  And not just hear someone spit out words, really listen. Here is another poem I wrote.  

Just Shy

I used to think she was just shy,
maybe nervous in front of people.  
Or maybe she thought she was too good for any of us.
But I did wonder about her.  
She looked nice. 
She was pretty in her own way.
Who am I to judge.
I never asked, I didn't think it mattered.
Until the day she took too many pills.

I don't mean to leave on such a sad note, but just be aware of those around you. That's all for today.  Have a great one!
