This is one of the places I can be me

There aren’t a lot of places I can be me. There aren’t a lot of people I can be me around.

Here I can be me. I don’t care who judges me. I don’t care what people think of things I say or do.

It would be nice if all places were like that. If the world was more live and let live.

We constantly evolve. In relationships of all kinds. In wants and desires of all things.

I have a skip in my step. People see the smile on my face and hear it in my voice. They don’t know where the happiness comes from. They don’t need to.

It comes from places like this, and people like you.

Empathy

When someone openly expresses thier feelings, it’s not a right or wrong doing, it’s not a conflict or fight.

It’s an open conversation how actions or choices made them feel, opening the dialogue to express, clarification and understanding. Helping keep everyone on the same page.

The depth of that often gets lost as we become defensive and feel we need to have a right or wrong stance and defensively stand up for something.

Sitting back and hearing someone out, understanding why they might feel that way takes a maturity very few have. An ability to talk something out. Take a minute to consider someone you care about might have damages you didn’t make but they just need validation or comfort that thier anxiety or fears are heard.

Because when it all comes down to it we want to be cared about and heard.

Why lie?

Why are people so driven to lie? Why couldn’t you just tell me you wanted to go do what ever it was you wanted to do? I get it but the lie hurts. I told you I had trust issues. Be honest with me was all I asked. But to cancel on me with a lie is fucked
