Is it worth speaking from the heart when it has nothing good to say ?

Top | New | Old
That's a good question because I battle with it. If I feel it is life or death, yes. Otherwise, I feel people have to learn lessons in order to grow. I know that sounds cruel, but sometimes it's the only way. Words go in one ear and out the other. But actions, decisions, behavior and reactions are the learning blocks of life.
@ThesebootsRmade4walking absolutely...words are just that ...words...they don't really mean anything...

It cost me a lot when I did. Speaking from the heart felt right at the time, but it wasn’t received the way I hoped. So maybe not everything needs to be said out loud…but if it weighs on the heart, it’s probably already speaking in other ways. And honestly, sometimes I wonder if it’s just the heart being dramatic again, maybe it needs to chill before I hand it the mic next time.
@mindstruggle sometimes things are better left unsaid ...sometimes the aftermath it will bring isn't worth it

@catastrophecarnival
Facts. The heart might want to spill everything, but it doesn’t always consider the clean-up crew.
@mindstruggle yes..i don't think these things end well
I weigh that very carefully regarding certain people in my life. Thus far it’s my brain that’s taken control in determining nothing good will come of it, for myself nor them. That could change but for now my heart remains silent.
@catastrophecarnival Lol….. I figured that would be kind of a dumb question on my part, you’d likely tried that already.

Is there a way of delivering the words in a, for lack of a better description, “politically correct” way that would minimize harm to the recipient while bringing you some comfort and relief? Maybe you just need some more time to craft the right words.
@OlderSometimesWiser maybe ...that's an idea
@catastrophecarnival Well I’m always around if you want to bounce any words and ideas off me. But I know you like to be very private about personal matters which I totally understand and respect so perhaps even talking about things like you’ve done here will shake some helpful thoughts loose for your mission. 🙂
I honestly dont know anymore. I look where i am at this moment. And i just don't know. I'll continue to do it, because I know no other way to be. Not sure it helps me though
@Bexsy I am here for you if you ever need to talk about these things
@catastrophecarnival that's one thing I do know

@Madmonk I can't seem to make the words come out like I want them to

Sometimes it’s best for me to keep my mouth shut 🤐
