Trust, Pot and Kettle

Situation 1:

I was talking to a friend recently, and we got to talking about relationships. His, not mine ('cause i don't have one). Then we got to the issue of trust, which is i think is most essential in every relationship. Won't go into detail on what we talked about, but i did give said friend my two cents. That's when i realised i referenced my past relationship a whole lot, and that i could have used one or two of the advices i gave to my friend. I think previously i've always prided myself as the voice of reason, the one people come and talk to when they've got problems. Now i see myself as a big hypocrite, not practising what i tell people. And giving out relationship advice, of all things.

Situation 2:

Something unfortunate happened in my family (nothing too bad or tragic) that brought me back to my childhood days. It's something that's also related to the "trust" issue, and how it's abused. I found myself in the role of mediator/peacemaker, and again the feeling of hypocrisy floated uneasily inside me. As a kid i wasn't exactly the spokesperson for truth-telling. I lied about so many things it became second nature to me. Not something i'm proud of now, and more so when i feel that i've been footstep-followed. So yeah, it's a little upsetting.


Don't really know the point of the post, though someone pointed out to me that i've only blogged like 12-13 times this year. Haha.

Drink more water!!
