A Moment of Selfishness

Okay, I'm going to be honest here.

I'm a pretty nice person. I'm open, I'm giving, I care. I do things for others without thinking all the time. I love to do random things to make other people smile. I love giving presents to people for no reason, other than 'just because'. I will do favours for friends when they ask ... help them ... listen to them. I think I'm a pretty good friend.

But here is the selfish part. Every now and then I wish I wasn't so giving. I wish I could say no. I wish I were a little more ruthless and outspoken. I wish I stood up for myself more. And I wish I could ask a friend ... "hey, I need to talk to someone, care to listen".

And I wish I could ask a friend ... "hey, I need to talk to someone, care to listen". - and you should ask your friends that. I think, good friends will happily listen
