I find myself being negative.
Words and phrases like; please don’t; and, put it away; and, you don’t need to do that…
Unduly negative and, to my ears, far too frequently.
This negativity drops an unwanted, unwelcome shado0w across the relationship.
And it isn’t a negative relationship – these words leave a bad taste in my mouth every time I use them.
So no matter what my intentions, no matter what the reasoning behind the thoughts behind the words as of tonight, this evening, I am stopping.
There, I’ve said it.
I. Am. Stopping.
And damn the consequences.
B.
Well done for acknowledging it and good luck with the positivity. Sometimes it is so hard to make an effort with the person who deserves it the most – that’s what I find anyway.
