What Bothers Me Most?
What bothers you most about other people?*
What bothers me most? It’s when people speak as if they know me, when they only know my name.
They’ve seen the title, but they haven't read a single chapter. They don't know the plot twists, the silent struggles, or the pages I had to tear out to keep going. It’s frustrating to be judged by someone else’s narrow perspective.
Because I know that pain, I choose to be a listener. I don’t interrupt your story with my advice unless you ask for it. I won't judge your journey based on my map. I’m just here to hear you.
