Silence
It can be the most precious thing and the most damning.
Silence is loud.
And what it screams comes straight from our imagination.
Such an important part of communication. Knowing when to be quiet and when to speak up.
Never let someone take your silence and twist it to words you never said.
Or meant.
Say what you feel, own your words.
Say them with firmness and compassion. Explain them if you must.
Don’t write them or text them.
Respect the person enough to take the time to share your words with all the emotion, tone and meaning. Look them in the eye. Touch them, hold them, whatever expresses how you want those words to make them feel.
Don’t speak out of anger.
Words are forever.
Good or bad.
I love you!
