I think I'm annoying my friends with the barrage of confessional self-obsessed monologues that seem to stream out of my mouth without any self-control. I love to reflect on my "issues," discuss my "process," and what I said to therapist (and what she said back)...I can't help it, I get some high of off inner growth (or at least the attempt at it). But there does comes a time when I have to learn to start keeping it light. It's OK to discuss the weather, or the decorations on the restaurant wall, or my nail polish. It doesn't all have to be about the dregs of my childhood, a literary comparison of religious text, the meaning of life, etc...What should I have for lunch? Who's winning (whichever sport)? What's going to happen on the season finale of "Friends?" See, I'm practicing.

Just for today, I can keep it light.
