It takes a special person to be a good listener. Someone that can be counted to hear your thoughts without interruptions, not looking to be the problem solver just a listening ear. This is indeed a special creature, but what do they do when they need to be heard?
These people tend to find themselves surrounded by those who are excellent talkers. People who even when they think they are listening, aren't truly; they are just waiting to once again hear themselves talk.
So the "good" listener goes about life being the one you can always count on to be there; the one person that never judges; the one person that can show you empathy the most.
The Randomness of Life...
"Good" talkers need to be aware of the state of the "good" listeners. We are a hurting bunch, mainly searching for a voice for which we can tell our stories. We go through life seemingly without a care in the world, but in actuality we carry the world's struggles on our backs because we "heard" it all. We take each person's hurt personally and their story becomes our cause.
Our voice is usually not strong enough to shout over yours - we want your cause to be heard more than ours. Our voice is usually not strong enough to shout over yours - you are what matters, we will be fine.

So a note to yourself...when you find yourself simply talking...take a breath and just listen...there maybe someone waiting to be heard. HappiDaisy :o)
