“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
I have a friend every morning I get a text that says 2 words “morning sweetie” its funny because that’s what her notification also says its a sound bite from doctor who and its River Song saying just that….. I hate silence. In the Corp silence means problems. When your in the forest there are birds and things you listen for them when they are silent there are dangers around. . . When your in a relationship silence kills because the other person does not know what’s wrong. We do it both ways. Sometimes we assume the silence is good because there is no issues. A calm see can hind a hungry shark, a rock just under the surface, or many other issues. . So talk a simple chat can uncover a vast wonder of bad issues or show you happy new ideas. Talking is ok. There are rules. 1) you cant use it against the person later ( I have a problem with this I’m learning ) 2) you let the other speak there thoughts with out you making it about you or adding your thoughts to theirs. and 3) DO IT OFTEN. Dinner, ice cream, after sex, during a commercial there are places in your day to just talk. . Being quiet is not silence, I have a friend if he says 20 words its has more meaning than the 300 you just read here. We need to understand our partner. Try this “How was your day?……”
