I had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. Relaxing days at the Poconos resort and two fun filled days in NYC with Jude Law in Hamlet, good food, typical tourist sites, taxis, and cheesecake.
Jude's performance was AMAZING. He made wonderful choices as an actor and really committed to his character. My mom made the comment that he must be drained having to perform such an intense role twice a day. I want that talent!
So I came to some pretty interesting conclusions over break. As much as I try sometimes to stop people from throwing harsh words at each other, I cannot stop talking until a conclusion has been made, or at least until I know people really know how I feel. Don't try to soothe me or simply hug me, LISTEN! I'm not going to go into details about WHEN I experienced this during break, but through some family good ol'bickering I found that while it may be ideal to try to end an argument and walk away before things that can't be taken back are said, a person can't walk away from this if they are told to not vocalize how they are feeling for the sake of peace. Peace only comes when there is a real sense of understanding, not when things are pushed under the rug.
