A Phrase Not Used Enough

Do you ever feel like responding with "Who cares??" when someone tells you something or asks your opinion? Call me crazy, unsympathetic, or just plain rude -- but it seems more often than not I find myself biting my tongue from blurting this seemingly appropriate phrase. Let me give you a few examples…

I’m not even sure why I’m choosing today to speak on this, maybe it’s got something to do with the 18 meaningless conversations I had today, or maybe I just wanted to vent a little. So I guess I can close this chapter for now (until I choose to revisit it again).

But really… who cares??
