You always think you are right. You told me how to fix my unbroken life. You didn’t like my choices. You gave me unwanted bad advice. You thought you were helping.

Will I ever be able to get you to understand that I’m fine. Can you ever accept my decisions? Your helping, shut me down. I was scared every time you came over to see me. I was afraid to talk to you, even about the weather.

Face of a bartender. Observing and listening, two of my greatest faults. I read your work, and I’ll respond in truth or remain silent, wading in my ignorance.
