Commuincate

Communicate.

What does that word mean?

I wasn’t familiar.

Silence and abuse…

Those were the two extremes and the only languages I grew up knowing deeply.

And so… I employed them.

And it hurt.

And I hurt.

And then… I found it.

“I feel” … I feel. I think. I believe. When I found it… I had to learn to use it.

Educating yourself is always a choice you can make.

No matter your circumstances or the hand you’re dealt.

Trust me… I know.

I had to learn. I had to communicate my lack… My weakness…

And then… I felt open.

And honest.

And heard. I had been given a gift.

The gift to listen… The gift to speak. The gift to love.
