Depending on what’s situationally appropriate… I struggled with being overly blunt and honest or outspoken and also with feeling like I didn’t need to share my thoughts and opinions because they didn’t matter. Now I’ve found balance and tactfulness for the most part but it’s taken me time and effort to get here!!

it took me a while to realize this but, communicating doesn’t mean sharing every thought you have and every feeling going through you.
its often best to take some time to assess how you feel, come to a conclusion that you’re confident in, and then share that with whoever you’re conversing with. especially if they play a significant role in your life.
i used to think that by making my internal dialogue and thought process totally transparent, i was just being super communicative - while that might technically be true, sometimes some of our passing thoughts on our way to a final conclusion about how we feel about something might actually be hurtful to the other person if vocalized!!
idk i just felt like sharing this ok 👍🏻

Didn’t realize how much I appreciate honesty and lack of allusions and weird subtext in your interactions with people when it matters most until recently. Very rare but important skill. you have got to say what you mean and mean what you say

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
