That weird behavior.

Day 16 — Book Writing/Birthday Month
Most people are not mean.
They are frightened.
Scared.
Full of fear.
Everyone is a bit broken.
I think we have to stop taking
Everything so personally.
And understand that it truly
Is not about you.
I have started to really stop
Before I react or answer.
And if I do.
I ask a question.
Because there is always something
Deeper
Then what you are being told.
Then what is being shown.
It is okay for everything
To not be okay.
And frankly most of the time it isn’t.
So talk about it.
There is a public persona.
A private persona.
And then what we are privy to
Between friends, family, lovers, colleagues.
Each has its own nuance.
I write about this a lot.
But it is so true.
That you never know
What’s going on with people
Until you ask.
And even if you do you may
Not hear the deep true answer.
And that’s okay.
Sometimes there isn’t anything
So make no assumptions.
But I do find that digging a little
Deeper
Does reveal.
And what is on the surface
Isn’t always what’s in the core.
Thank you for giving that little heart below a nudge if you liked this. :)
