You lend an ear.
You’re so considerate! You’ll sit there smiling and nodding for 45 minutes while a friend chatters on about who the fuck knows what. You listen because it’s the kind thing to do. They need to express their thoughts aloud and you’re an excellent sounding board. Today let’s thank the people who listen to us and celebrate our own ability to lend an ear.
Today remind yourself: I lend an ear.
