A chat with some girls
The other day two girls came to me and asked for a chat. We were talking about some of the huge things that were happening in their lives right now for them, and trying to navigate a way forward.
We talked about the issues of parents, and how parents often put their issues onto their kids - but it isn't the kids fault. Even if the kids hadn't been born the parents would still have their issues.
We talked about knowing ourselves, and when in our lives we finally "know" ourselves. I said that I was 31 and am only just knowing myself now. We also talked about loving others, having boyfriends, and the question around how can we know what we want in a guy, when we don't even know who we are and what we like.
We talked about talking, and how it's a really good thing to do. We talked about working through our issues with other people, and that someone just to listen to can be a great help.
It was a really good chat. I felt like they trusted me with lots of their issues, and I tried to listen to their issues and then coach them to a resolution rather than just giving them advice.
