It’s 158am on Friday march 29, 2020. I am listening to “Remember to Breathe” by Dashboard Confessional, a track with which i have recently fallen in love. I am not watching a movie and and duchess is sound asleep as always! lol. :)
So a guy is seen walking down the street, cut up, bleeding, badly injured with a smoke cloud at the distance of an apparent crash scene. Another guy drives up and asks the injured man if he should keep driving. the injured man says, "That's where I'm coming from. Don't do it, you're putting your life in danger if you do!! The driver nods, drives straight into the crash and adds to the pile up while the injured man watches in horror.
Do people really listen to advice? and if not then why exactly to they ask for it? is it just peace of mind that they had options before they went and did whatever the hell they wanted??
Today has been an interesting day. One of my former pupils went and switched churches even though I told him to stay at his church and one of my best friends went and hooked up with a girl after asking me whether or not he should hook up with her in the first place, my advice being no of course. (stories behind both of these, they are not just my stubborn opinions or anything). both guys ended up doing whatever they wanted. so if both of these guys were gonna do what they wanted then why did they ask me for help?? more so, Why do I even give out advice from my hard earned experience if nobody is even listening. Should I just start letting people experience their own mistakes and crash and burn??
About Me

- I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

Hi J,
I hope that you are sleeping.
Many people ask for advice because they want someone to confirm what they are thinking of doing. So, they really don't want advice unless it is what they want to hear.
Others do sincerely want advice. Sometimes, I ask for advice to see another view point...sometimes I follow the advice and sometimes I don't; however, I really do want the advice and listen to what the other person has to say.
Sorry that you had a "bad" day. Sound advice isn't always heard, but not all the time.
i don't know. i guess they just want different perspectives. i rather learn from others neg. experiences than to have to go through them myself. but that's just me. some people gotta just try it for themselves i guess...
