The Other Side. Bruno Mars? ...Yes.

a lot of people have difficulty in mentally reminding themselves to look at someone else's perspective.

speaking as a first-class know-it-all and self-obsessor, i know it's hard. but i learned from my mom. sometimes when my mom and i get in arguments i feel like she's just ranting to hear herself talk. i'm pissed and i think she [cliche] just doesn't get it, etc, etc.

but the truth is my mom is a master of seeing the other side of the argument; of understanding other points of view. even if she doesn't agree, she always recognizes them. actually, it's kind of annoying....if she's like muttering to herself/me about something i don't give a shit about, she goes back-and-forth with herself about the different POVs and all i think at the time is that it just adds to the constant TALK, TALK, TALK. and sometimes it adds to the Guilt Factor that she takes so much pride in. "well, meg, you could've brought in the garbage...but it is really cold outside. oh, i'll bare the cold ...no big deal. "

but really. i've learned from the master, so i should be thankful.

ok y'all my mom just brought me ice cream! THANK YOU KARMA.
