Learning to Listen like a Girl

A friend was complaining about me once and said, "If a murder had just killed a person Esther would find something good to say about it like 'Oh at least he didn't splatter blood everywhere'..."

There is a silver lining on every cloud. They say.

I usually find it.
Sometimes I shouldn't.
Because apparently that annoys people.

Sometimes girls don't want to hear about how p(r)etty their problems are or how easily they could be solved. Sometimes they just want you to lay on the grass and listen to them describe the clouds as they float through their life.

I'm trying to learn how to do that.
