mouthy

i'm both a writer and a talker. oftentimes i can be more sensitive and more introspective when i am writing. when i talk, things tend to come flying out of my mouth and i think, "woah, why in the hell are you saying that!? shh! shh!"

people come to me because they know they will get straightforward, no bullshit honesty peppered with humor and heart. i am who i am. people always know where they stand with me.

all kinds of people want to tell me their stories and i both love and hate that. because i know i can be a bit too involved sometimes in other people's lives. even if they are asking me to be, i'm learning how to keep my mouth closed and just say reassuring words that tell them i am listening.

i'm learning. . . it's a process.
