Finally, I found myself able to listen to someone else's problems today. It didn't leave me feeling hurt or angry that the focus was being taken away from me, or that she had no right to complain because her problems were nothing compared to mine.

I was just able to listen, to sympathise and to offer what little advice I had. I could see and understand that her problems were as valid and as important as mine.

At last. I've waited so long to get to this point.
