Dunno what lit that fire under my ass last night, I think it was talking to a friend about how important communication is in living peacefully.
Like- some of the worst things that ever happened to me happened as a result of people bearing resentments against me that were born of a lack of communication, things that were ultimately really minor, but which exploded into some really horrid behavior because those resentments festered without anyone doing the adult thing and just.. talking things out. So when I feel like there are places I feel those things happening again- not to me specifically, but others- it makes me… well, furious.
Nobody deserves to be subjected to what I was. Never.
