Still Life.
Trying to give advice to anyone has to be the most futile endeavor ever. Nobody listens, nobody stops. There are rare moments, usually on some kind of real or imaginary crisis, when you'll find yourself talking to someone willing to listen. Am I like this too?
The whole point of having someone listen to you is not making them do what you want. Far from it, what's cool is that people pay attention to each other. Yes, we have that ability, buried in the depths of our beings. And that's a very cool thing to do, you know... pay attention. But you don't have to just sit around paying attention to each other. There are a multitude of actions you might take while shifted away from the noise of your own thoughts: dialogue, eat, fuck, walk, write (yes, together), sing, touch, cuddle... the sky is the limit.
Please, don't get me wrong, ok? I wasn't always this cinical.
