How is it that some people can give you a pep talk about looking after yourself and not getting dragged by other people, then text you a rant about their own dramas an hour later? How much time do you think it takes to get my brain de-stressed and back on track, Doris*?
*Apologies to any actual Doris's out there.
I look at it as the same as a smoker is telling you from experience that you shouldn't smoke. It's valid advice.
A lot of advice I've received over the years has come from a place of "don't repeat my fuckups".
