Thought 6: My New Years Vows

At the beginning of the year, I vowed (to myself and others) that I would not get involved in people’s problems ever again. Even if they wanted me to.

You see for the past few years, I have been agony aunt to a lot of people but don’t get me wrong, I love it! I love knowing that no matter what someone goes through, they can count of me for confidential, okayish advice. I've always been that person that even strangers feel comfortable to yap about things they normally don't talk about with anyone (believe you me, it has happened maybe too many times). Apparently I am easy to talk to. Doesn’t that sound like a good friend.....:|

Well to be honest, I was fed up! Fed up of being just that. I felt so used by most of my 'friends' and to be honest, it turned out that it just that.

So yes, I told and told myself:

• NEVER AGAIN, would I sit up for hours listening to someone mourn about their life and expect me to find the solution to their mountain of problems!
• NEVER AGAIN would I be just an EAR, just there to listen, to burden you sad life stories to
• NEVER AGAIN would I find myself involved in people relationship problems (biggie...)

DID IT WORK?....

Well its July now and NO, it hasn’t! I find myself burdened with more problems than ever and why can’t I stop this madness...well cause I care about people....is that so wrong?
I can't seem to stop helping. I did not intend to stop caring for my friends, just not be just problem-solver...is that too much to ask for ?
