I think we are always in a constant state of learning... there is always a lesson. I have been learning. I am always learning. These past few months the lesson have been life ones... I have been learning a lot about myself. What I am capable of. The power of decisions. Willpower. Courage. Feeling. Fear. Being me.
The inspiration of my post today? Ask me a question... and I'll give you and answer.
How was your day? 'Good'
How was school? 'Fine'
How was your weekend? 'Good'
Whats going on? 'Nothing'
All good questions.
All crappy answers.
They are pretty much lies a lot of the time. But they are the answers that people expect. That's all that most want to hear. That's all people really have time for. Lets face it, do we all have time to listen to everyone's story? Probably not. Would we all be better if perhaps we did this more often? Yep. I think so.
When the question is rephrased. My answers are different. When the question is sincere. My answers are different. When I know someone wants to listen. My answers are different. They are real. I will tell the truth. And when I don't have the words (and this happens a lot). I will stumble through it. And the listener will usually understand. I am not one to often offer up information, the stuff that really matters anyway, easily. I think before I speak (usually), and I guard what I say. If you want to know something. Really know. You probably need to ask. That is just the way it is. I don't know if this is something that will change easily about me. But I'm learning.
Its a calculated risk. To let people know me.
Just smile and nod.
