The people I love the most try to help me. I don't always want them to. I want them to agree with me, and cheer me up; not challenge me and send me into needed deeper contemplation.
When I am thinking about something, I can't help but to send it past my lips. Today it was met with criticism and confrontation. I didn't want that. I wanted, "That sounds good. You're right. I'm with you." Instead I heard, "You shouldn't jump right into that. Think about it more." I knew I shouldn't have said anything.
Or maybe I should have. After it sinks in, I realize that this is better. Do you dislike having to admit someone is right? Even if they are a loved one?
Share your life. Share your heartache and happiness. Share it with people who care. But beware: you might hear things you don't want to. Be honest with yourself. Be brave.
