The only power we refuse

Even though we are gifted with speech, it does not mean that we will always be understood. Sometimes, some cases would require us to be silent just to refrain from offending people of our feelings through feisty and hurtful speeches. Whenever we cannot determine or handle issues that come inevitable in our daily lives, we tend to shut up because it protects us from the consequences of what we may do just because we are plain pissed. However, keeping our mouth shut will also keep people at a distance so you can have moments to consider certain things and actions that need to be done apart from those driven by the present circumstances.

Just think about this…

People may learn of your struggles and understand you.
Because they care for you, they will keep their distance and give you their understanding for as long as they can.

But when silence continues…

For how long will these people bear with the agony of your problems?
How long will these people wait for you to come for their help?
How long does it take for you to understand that in every struggle, these people wish to be part of every pain and worry that you are carrying.

How long does it take to convince you that people are there even when you turn your back and lead your own way?

How long will it take to convince you that these people are capable of doing everything to appease you?

Sometimes, when we are so convinced that we are alone and misunderstood in this world, we tend to forget that we actually do the same to the people who truly love us. Because we are blinded by the pain, we tend to protect ourselves and rein our needs to keep us from reaching out…mainly because we fear rejection.
