Learn to listen and listen to learn

When I was in it, I wanted to talk. Explain. Defend. The people who actually helped me were the ones who sat still and heard me — and the days I got better were the days I did the same for somebody else.

If you’re trying to help someone you love: start there. Less speech. More ears. If you’re the one still fighting: find the rooms and the people who will listen without trying to win.
