I don't really know how to handle a lot of things. I am one that will just blurt out how it is and that is that. I don't always do it in a tactful way, but I was always told not to beat around the bush, you say what you have to say and that way there is no mis-interpretations of anything. I know that I am harsh sometimes and it is not that I mean to be, I know it just comes out that way!!! My dearest friends know that when I am having a bad day or something is going on or I am just in "one of those moods", I will say what is on my mind and what I think should be done. Just ask my neighbor, I am sure she gets tired of it and sometimes feels as though I am attacking the way she does things, but that really isn't it at all! I try to give advice, I try to tell people the opinions I have of the best way to do things. Only if it is in conversation of course. Mostly because I have been in that similar situation and know what worked for me. But it is all true, never a lie and I am one of the most honest people I know! :) I would do anything for my neighbor/best friend and I know she would do the same. I just don't know if sometimes I am to harsh in my words? I try and always think of the most positive way of saying things without hurting any ones feelings, but most times I am always afraid I have. I shouldn't have to feel that way if I am just speaking my mind, right????? But then on the other hand, would I want someone to talk to me the way I talk to other people, well, honestly, yes. I want any advice anyone would have about anything that I am facing. What I choose to do with that advice is solely up to me!!! Just like when we had Kayla and everyone wanted to tell us how to raise her and what we should do and how we needed to discipline her......I listened....I invited the conversation....and I took what I thought I could use, if anything, and left it at that. I didn't feel the need to constantly tell people that she was our daughter and we would raise her as we saw fit!!! That just was not necessary at all!!! I know that people were just trying to help! I really hope that is what people think when I have my opinion that I share as well. Just because I say it, doesn't mean that they have to use it.......BUT!!!!! (there is always one of those, right?) I don't know what it is about certain things, but I get kinda angry when someone doesn't listen to me when I know it is the right thing to do and when I feel so strongly about it. I know it isn't any of my business what people do.....but for some reason that is one thing that just bothers me. I try to not let it and I have been getting better at it...I just try and tell myself that it isn't me, I said what I thought, so let it go.....that is one thing I totally need to work on...............LET GO AND LET GOD!!!!!
I know this is just kind of random and babbling, but it is something that has been on my mind all week and I figured I would say something about it! I am far from perfect! Like my neighbor/best friend said, that is to much responsibility!
I just hope that if at anytime anyone is offended by the way I say things that they would let me know. I am not good and thinking out my sentences before I say them, so it does take a lot of working on on my part, but I know that is something I need to work on! I am one of those people that does NOT think before I speak!!!! I love my friends dearly, because I don't have many.....I grew up in a military family, so the ones that I have from highschool that I still keep in contact with are all over the place.....I work all the time, so the only other people I socialize with are my neighbors....some of them are to be desired!!! So we just stick to our own lives and our own world....which will hopefully keep us from being taken advantage of so much.....more to come on that one!!!!!
Hope everyone has a great week! I am working on these things, so I will let you know how I am doing!!!! If anyone has any ideas or helpful tips, that would be great too!
