Alice once said,

“I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.”

If my life had a motto, I think that could be it. Here I am, talking to a friend who’s hurting just like me, and telling her all these things that I know will help her. And in the back of my mind, I know they would help me too. But the thing is…I just can’t get myself to listen. I know that if I’m willing to tell someone else straight how it is, I should be able to hear it, too. But with all the people who have tried to give me advice, I rarely trust any of them at all. Maybe I’m selfish, but I really only trust myself right now. And I don’t even know if I can trust myself. How do you trust yourself when your feelings change so fast?
