Why Not Listen?

Why oh why don't we listen to what we know to be true, even if it's only a fleeting thought? Why do we put ourselves in awkward situations? Is it really to learn something, or are we all just punishing ourselves? We are all equipped with a sixth sense. It's that part of the brain that works overtime, but yet we ignore it, swatting it away like a pesky fly.

I guess I just wish the messages were always concrete (and loud): "Don't go. Make a right. Leave now." I get those now and then. When they're really strong, I do heed the advice, whatever it is. Most times it leads me out of trouble, just the answer I needed to get through unscathed.

Other times, it's just a whisper and it goes ignored because I didn't want to hear it and the situation that ensues is more than sticky.

Okay, so here's a promise to the eight of you reading this blog, I'm going to listen to that whisper, before it becomes a roar, and remain clean, not sticky. Wish me luck!
