They usually don't listen

Speaking with no attention of being heard must be common by now. Always walking lightly to avoid fragile feelings, but sacrificing one's own pride. Foolishness is only relatable when both sides take part, which is uncommon for the one who hears all. Not perfect, but who is? The idea of making everyone else full may leave the one who gives empty. Trying to satisfy can be unsatisfying when replication is absent, but staying true to morals will always bring satisfaction. Restrain resentment, as those who fail you only do so accidently which provides forgiveness presence within the heart. Never turn from what hurts to only embrace the good, but peace must replace stress for healing to surface. Speak when you feel needed, but that can only be chosen by you. Express what you choose without apology to endure life while ensuring your voice is heard.
