Feel N' Say

Do you remember those exciting toys for toddlers that they could play with for hours? It was round and had numerous pictures of animals or places and when you pulled the lever on the side a voice would say the name and make an identifying sound, these awesome toys were called See N' Says.
Ironically I have a trait that resembles this in my life and it doesn't always bring smiles and hearty laughter like a toy might. I love to communicate with people (I would even say it is one of my hobbies) This is reflected in my chosen career and the field I have picked to continue pursuing education. As a result of interacting with people and striving to learn and improve the world one person at a time I can't help but having feelings that I often keep to myself.
Eventually I come to the realization that good, bad or indifferent because of the person I am I need to share with one of about 4 people in my inner circle of closest friends.
So similar to a child who wants to show someone what their favorite animal sounds like, I decide who would be the best confidant to share with, I point the arrow there, pull the lever of my feelings and let them go with honesty.
I really wish I didn't have a Feel N' Say approach to times when things are weighing me down or stressing me out.

OH FOR THE SIMPLER DAYS WHEN MOST OF MY HAPPINESS WAS WRAPPED UP IN MATCHBOX CARS AND SEE N' SAYS

I guess that's why I work with kids...just fun...no assumptions
