I know the title sounds harsh, but it holds a lot of truth. For those of you out there reading this, remember to follow through with what you are saying. If you give insight and stop with a cliff hanger then how do you expect the other person to understand you.
Now I will not say I am perfect at this because it takes a lot of trust to tell a person EXACTLY what is on your mind and I do not have a lot of trust. A friend asked me tonight, 'Are we ok?'. What do you mean 'ok'? Am I well? Yes. Do I have a broken bone? No. Can I see? Yes. So I pushed for clarification as to what 'ok' meant.
"Are you mad at me?"
"About what?"
By this time it should be clear that I was not mad. I was frustrated though. It is hard for some to see passed a hardcover book and into actual feelings of a person. It is hard for a person to realize an old lady needs help to cross the street instead of you sitting there and laughing. It is hard for some to do a good deed without being recognized for it. Where did 'common sense' go? Where did the strength in words leave us?
I am starting to wonder some days if there is any actual truth out there. Take a look at anyone and tell me there is not something that any particular person has not said or even lied about. Tell me that I can trust again and feel safe. Tell me as my friend that you can tell me anything even if it is something that I do not want to hear. In the end, just.......tell me............
