On Angel's Wings

This might sound a little emo cause I'm listening to Barlow Girl's Never Alone.

Why do guys like to sweep everything under 'respect' so much?
Not that respect isn't important or that I do not value their respect.
In fact, being respected 总会让我觉得受宠若惊 (feel as though I've received a gift greater than I am worthy of; pardon the chinese, I just think it expresses it better).

But why can't they get that respect feels hollow without understanding?
What women want that men don't seem to get: understanding.
And I know I generalize when I say that, cause I've known a number of awesome guys who really do understand and if not, try their best to.

It's the effort you make, didn't you know that?

I am moved by their efforts, and even if they still wear that blank look on their faces from time to time, as least I know they tried and didn't just sweep me along with all that I'm saying under the carpet.
And honestly, I do not know of any guy who tried and didn't eventually get it (or get somewhere).

So lest I am accused of being ambiguous, let me say it as clearly and simply as I can.
I want to be understood.
We want to be understood.
Women want to be understood.
Though there is a part of us that you never will, and that is our mystery and our glory (as there is a corner to every man's soul that is reserved for his buddies and a depth to his soul that is reserved for God and God alone), there is much that you can if you tried.

Stop trying to fix our problems and just let us talk. We don't want the problem solved until you've helped us to solve how we feel about the problem.

A fourteen year old girl just called wanting to help us out at YMTG.
She rocks. Don't know who she is except that her name is Sarah, but she's awesome and I hope God uses her to do great stuff :)
God bless you, Sarah!
