Hey guys! :)

How's life?

Are your pets doing fine?

What about your fandoms??

I was trying to change up my blog design a little bit and ended up looking at my sidebar

I love how everyone else uses their labels/tags to sort their blog and I just sort of

what is my life

*boop*

This makes me smile no matter what

Anybody else remember The Princess Bride?

Most important thing in the entire gaming series

I was going to make this the gif of the day, but it wasn't working, so here it is. xD

Usually when there's a vid or something with any cussing or anything, I apologize, knowing there's quite a few of you following me who are either young, or are just sensitive to cursing or things like that

This time, I'm not going to apologize, because this is actually inspiring and I felt I needed to share it

I learned a little thing about myself this year

I'm horrible at reacting to things

When some people talk about their problems with other people, either they want a reaction or they just simply want someone to listen just for a moment. I'm one of those people who don't need a reaction, and for quite a while, assumed a lot of people felt the same.

I like to listen to people, that's really all I'm good for when people aren't feeling the greatest, I listen because that's all I can do. If you ever want someone to just shut up and listen to your life story, I'm here. I love hearing what's on people's minds or whatever.

My only problem is I don't know how to react when they're finished talking

You could tell me that someone in your family passed or that you dropped your ice cream cone, and this is horrible, but my reaction would be the same to either one

On the outside at least

On the inside, I'd have this whole speech of how I'm sorry, I hope you feel better soon, do you want to get another ice cream cone, or do you want to be left alone or do you need a hug

On the outside, I just sit there nodding and say nothing

Because that's all I know how to do

I listen, I don't react

Which I guess is good in some cases, but what if someone really does need someone who can tell them it's okay?

Believe me, whenever I'm talking with someone about something that's going on in their lives and they finish and look at me, looking like they expect me to say something, because that's what you do when things like that happen, I feel like such a failure because I have all these things I want to say, I just can't physically say them.

I'd be a really crappy therapist. xD
