I Will Let You Know What I Want

Whether tacitly or directly, I will tell you what my needs are. A sure way to get me wrong is to assume or prejudge me. Ask, listen, observe. I will reveal who and what I am.

Sounds reasonable so long as that goes both ways.

@LyricalOne Of course. I am always looking and listening to discern the needs of others. Should I miss the boat on something, I think I'm able to accept a critique and learn from it.

@amObsolete A good way to establish healthy relationships. 🙂

@LyricalOne I do try. It's hard sometimes, though. I have internal battles to fight. I have to work to keep the battles from tainting interpersonal relationships.

@amObsolete Don’t we all.

@LyricalOne Yes we do. I figure that people of good will can help one another. Even if it is merely accepting that all of us have inner battles going on.

@amObsolete There are few people who reach a certain age without any baggage. I remember reading something about how it’s finding the right person to unpack it with. 🙂

@LyricalOne Finding that right person could be a cathartic and healing experience. Have you found that person? I don't think I have. Maybe I'm just failing on my end? I don't know.

@amObsolete I would love to find the right person again. My husband passed away several years ago so it’s taken some time to be open to the idea. But I feel ready now.

@LyricalOne I'm sorry for the loss of your husband. I wish you the best in your search for that right person to unpack with 🙂.
LyricalOne · F
@amObsolete I wish the very same for you. 🙂

Thank you @LyricalOne. You have been kind to me. Words are all I have to offer, but if they help in some way, seek me out.
