I am not a confrontational or argumentative person by nature. And I can be easily swayed. Not because I do not have an opinion but because I get distracted so easily. And I tend to agree so as to not disagree.
Me: An apple sounds good.
B: Did you know that cheese is a good source of protein? It helps you lose weight.
Me: Cool, I will have some cheese then.
B: I will have an apple.
Me: Dammit, I wanted to have an apple.
I find that as of recent I have had to raise my voice slightly louder [metaphorically speaking] to be heard. I would like to think that I have become wiser in dealing with sticky situations and being able to stand my own ground.
I believe that people have good intentions and that they are not out to hurt. So maybe sometimes what is viewed as confrontational is actually in fact, communication. An exchange of honest perceptions followed by an agreement. A common ground.
What I have been more aware of is when a win is made, someone out there is making a loss. Almost like the yin and yang philosophy. Or economics.
As for today, I am thankful for the contraction and relaxation of the muscles in my body. Thankful that it functions and allows me to do things like... type. And walk. My fracture has healed but it still gives me grief sometimes just to remind me that it is there.
Like a crush.
I have a [nasty] crush and it refuses to go away.
Tsk.
Here's to staying up later than usual (10.20pm).
