What am I...

... a shrink?

I ask myself that question a lot. I've been asking myself that question a lot since I was about 14. My friends used to come to me with their problems about boys or girls and I happily obliged in helping them sort out their issues.

Recently (OK, since just before the wedding) three of my friends came to me for help with their private lives. My friends had the same problem but in very different aspects.

One friend is just out of a relationship that ended because it just wasn't working. Now she feels a little lost in what she wants from men ... and especially what she wants from "the one".

Another friend is in a relationship and is trying to figure out if her man is "the one".

The third friend is married and facing a problem in her marriage. A major problem.

OK, I won't go into details because, let's face it, this is not my private life. They came to me for advice.

I am going to take a minute to mention that I've been married for all of a minute. Really, just about a minute. But, for some reason, the girl who didn't get her first real boyfriend until 16 has been trusted in giving advice in the realm of love since a very early age. The girl who had the most horrendous experiences in love is somehow entrusted with help other people with their love lives. WHY??!?!?!

Because I'm honest.

I'm considering adding on a section to the blog where people can write in their questions and I'll give them my honest advice. What do you think? Do you think it's a good idea?
