"Say what you feel, it's not good to hold it
inside." They say.
"I'm bored with insignificant conversation." She
says.
"Listen more, and say less." They say.
"I'm tired of listening to the drivel, and drone of
what someone is wearing, or should be, of the types of food they want to eat,
and will be, of the things they don't like, and why." She says.
"Change the way you feel, you need to have a better
attitude." They say.
She sighs.
Grows silent.
Tucks it away.
"Don't you feel better all ready?" They ask.
I don't she can feel better until she opens up. Talks more and listens more, too. Listening is much more than hearing.
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing write. ♥
The sometimes convoluted means by which those who pretend to listen, hear. I agree with you Jo, listening is MUCH more than hearing:-) Thank you!
DeleteWhen they're interesting, I listen. When it's drivel, I wander away.
ReplyDelete(nodding softly)... it makes good sense to me!
DeleteNot really. Conversation is sometimes a bloody competitive sport. I can see where she doesn't want to play.
ReplyDeleteIt sure can be! Sometimes exhausting at the very least.
Deletek, it sounds like she's confused. not sure how to react to conversation because so many people have told her so many different approaches. she needs to follow her instincts. do it her way. then she'll find contentment.
ReplyDeleted~ What if she wants to be heard, but when people listen, they don't hear her. Then she would attempt to do it in a different way, yes? But if they still don't hear, how will she find contentment? Unless she decides that she doesn't care if they hear her or not. ;-)
