I'm really good at giving advice, but not so good at taking it.
I had a friend call me yesterday upset about some boy issue, and was trying to decide whether to go see a movie with some of her friends or stay home and be sad by herself and crash out early. I told her that it's a lot easier to think too much when you're by yourself, and that going to see a movie with friends will probably make her feel better.
Now if I only listened to my own advice.
I tend to sulk and hide in my room and play Death Cab for Cutie on repeat when I'm down, and I don't want to talk about it with anyone or do anything about it. I know it's not healthy, but I don't seem to think there's a better way to deal with it. I mean, I know that there is, but I'm not sure I know it. I tend to internalize things and that's not too good, either.
But I'm working on getting better at that. I guess, if I want to be a teacher, I need to be able to handle conflict, am I right? Ha, it's amazing what I learn when I actually listen to myself talk.
Love Always,
Kristin
