Listen Once in a While

     Listen when someone is trying to share their dreams and aspirations. Nothing hurts more than trying to talk about something that you find truly interesting only to be shot down by disengaged ears, distracted minds, and uninterested souls. If someone takes the time to try to explain something or to even open up to you about what they want to do in life, at least listen. You don't have to understand. You don't have to be knowledgeable about it or even be interested in it. All you have to do is listen and at least try to show signs of life. Contribute to the conversation because sometimes that is the only meaningful conversation they will have all day. Eventually they will stop sharing their dreams, then they stop talking and then eventually you will wonder what happened. You will wonder what happened the the happy girl that took time to have dreams and to share them. Everyone needs someone because this world can be a lonely place.
