I've had a really bad week. I've been trying to deal with an issue with my seven year old's father and have been quite upset by it. I haven't been sleeping well and I've been sick to my stomach so I haven't been eating. One of my friends invited me out for drinks to help me relax and get my mind off of this issue for a few hours, and it worked....for a few hours....and then people started telling me all of their problems.
I'm not sure what it is about me that makes people feel as if they can talk to me about such serious, personal issues...but they do. It isn't always my friends or family, it is complete strangers as well! It happens at the grocery store, at the post office...it happens every where!
It doesn't bother me when people do it, I know they need someone to listen....and I know I have a giant sign on my forehead that says "Tell me your problems!!!!!!!" But it makes me wonder who chooses what is written on that sign on our foreheads... Some people have take advantage of me or walk all over me...or all kinds of other things....who decides what's written there? Do we?
And just out of curiosity....What's written on your forehead?
