At certain times of my life I found that I felt like I desperately needed someone to talk to. My emotions had come to a point where I needed to talk to someone very much.
But because every time I talked to someone things didn’t work out well for me, I came to a conclusion to stay quiet. I didn’t even pray out loud.
I wanted for the first time in my life for things to change, to get better, and to my sadness I realized that I needed to be quiet and to keep my precious heart felt thoughts to myself.
When this sort of situation comes up I talk little, but I observe a lot and I listen to what each person has to say.
°
Even if I trusted a person I would listen for “reasons” that this person was telling me what he or she saying. I also encouraged the person to talk about themselves and even though I was a sympathetic ear I still said very little in return.
°
By doing this I discovered many wolves trying to be my friends. Even old friends who I had spent many years with. Some family too only wanted to use me. This made me terribly sad, and for some years I pretended that it wasn’t true, but finally I faced the truth.
°
There are times where it is wise to be careful and be the observer of all those close to you. Learn from them, study their body language, study their words, think about what is really going on around you
°
Then think about who you want around you. Do a clean out and remove excess baggage that is of no good to your life, or as some of us have discovered, go for a total change of life, people and environment. Sometimes a complete change is the only thing to do to make things go right.
°
Call it “Garbage Day!” and throw away the garbage, or leave the garbage behind you and head for a place where hearts like yours exist you will be welcome.

All the best from
