Remember that as much as you hate to be judged others hate to be judged by you.

Remember that when someone is telling you a story and is excited about something, it doesn't take much to just roll with it instead of interjecting negative energy and comments.

Remember that sometimes people are going through more than they let on and sometimes they just want someone to listen - NOT GIVE ADVICE.

No one needs to be like you. No one needs to live the way that you live. And while hard, we shouldn't expect ourselves from others.

We are all at different levels with our healing, our emotional intelligence, the way we are able to cope as well as others. Some may be immature for their age, turn to substance abuse to deal with trauma etc.

It's a HARD time of year for so many people - even the ones who don't voice it or act like it.

It's a HARD thing to just listen and give prompts back while staying neutral. I find it very draining as well but one things I've learned lately is not to give my opinions so much. Most of the time if people don't ask for it specifically they are not prepared to receive it.

Now go forth and family! LOL

Please keep track of your energy and emotional well being. Take a break if you need to. Take time to process and reset if need be.
