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

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.
@OlderSometimesWiser I think ...what's the point of it ? It won't change anything anyway ..
Can't get the right words out anyway ...it feels like I'm choking on my words
@catastrophecarnival I’m sorry for the pain it’s causing you. In my case, like yours, I do question what the point would be. I also ask myself what they’re supposed to do with the information, by unburdening myself I’m leaving them with having to handle what I’ve shared. So is anybody gonna feel better?

There’s so much talk these days about my truth, my truth, but is it always best to share it?

Would it help you to journal about this as a way to organize and express your thoughts? Or do you feel that they need to be shared with those involved in order to get any healing?
@OlderSometimesWiser I have journaled but it never feels like enough
@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. 🙂
