(Mis) Communication
In recent weeks, it's come to my attention, that the state of communication between people is terrible. I don't mean, that we don't talk to each other. Because we do. We do it all the time. We discuss a wide variety of topics, from the weather to relationships to the newst Harry Potter Novel. But the real talking, discussions of substance, they are seriously lacking.
I can never just say what I want to say. I have to beat around the bush, attempting to do it without offending anyone or anything. Maybe it's part of growing up, but I miss the days where people just talked. Forget worrying about what other people think and simply make your case. I'm sick of making others happy simply because I don't like to speak up.
But what is really bothering me today, at 11:30 in the Morning is the utter lack of simple decency some people have. When your daughter has just given birth is not the time to tell her your dead wife hated her and that she's selfish and stubborn. And then promptly kick her out of the house. No, that could have waited...maybe forever.
No the state of communication between people, atleast the people I know completely sucks. I'm not any better, I can never just simply tell people what the deal is. No, I just kinda go along with the ride. Which isn't terrible, but right now, if I'm not careful I'm going to get myself in a lot of trouble if I don't just step back. Even if Tom's totally behind me here.
haha, this all seems so serious. But it really isn't. I just wish my friends, my family, my extended family could actually talk to each other. So that on April 9th, we wouldn't be splitting up a family and going to a service that should be all about her and not about them. No, like usual this is about stuff at home, the stuff I tried to get away from.
Anyway, now that this is a useless entry I'm going to go. But I just wish everything would work out. Because they've already been through enough.
Love
Shannon
