Think things and Say things

Krystal, there are think things and say things, that was a think thing. Story of my life. I think and I say what I think, which really , I guess, only works out right when you can write what you think and then see it and edit it for optimal effectiveness in delivering your thoughts so that they will be received.

I don’t understand the concept of people thinking things and keeping them to themselves. I can’t imagine allowing everyone else to have a say in the world around you, but you, not having your say. I don’t get it. I wish I did. But it makes me very uncomfortable to go along with the opinions of others without evaluating my own personal truth on the matter.

I am patient when it makes sense to be patient. I don’t see why everyone expects you to always be patient all the time. That’s how you end up in long term bad relationships. There are too many people in the world to get stuck on any one who doesn’t have your best interest at heart. For that one who doesn’t, there are millions and maybe billions more who do if you free yourself to find them.

I think speaking my mind, is a gift, as with any gift, there must be some personal responsibility. I am thankful l.

So with that being said, am I to speak my truth or hold my piece? When should I think things and not say them……or is it never appropriate to say the things I think?

Actually, when I don’t say it when I think it, I usually end up thinking it again later and with more intensity and wishing I had said it earlier before I allowed it to grown into a bigger issue of miscommunication, cause eventually it’s gonna have to be said if I want to address something that no one else has noticed to address.

People generally, run from the truth. My truth, anyway. When you pick beneath the surface folks freak out, cause touching their souls is sensitive if you aren’t used to it being touched. But I dig eye contact and follow up questions, I deal in truth, I pay attention and lies will be discovered if they present themselves to me. So instead of having true, honest to God, conversation and interaction, people feel attacked and as if I am being intrusive. What is intrusive about the truth?

So, I’m just stretching out my writing chops here, gearing up for the school year and the book that is forth coming. But I think this might be the introduction…..I am very interested in your thoughts and you co-writing and teaching and critiquing me as I write it, but tell me, do you say what you think or do you think and not say?
