sometimes i don’t know what the right words are to express what i’m thinking and feeling, so i don’t say anything. usually the need to express an emotion fades and everything is back to normal, but occasionally the thoughts nag at me for days or months and eventually i explode with rage, brutal honesty and frustration.

i regret that this once cost me a very dear friendship, and recently contributed to a very terrible week.

i want to be better at effective communication.
