Good Morning Misfits!

How do you view a sense of growth with communication and between two parties with varying views? 

A parent having a different perspective than the child, neither perspective is wrong, but how are both parties choosing to listen to each other, actually hearing each other and speaking up with how they would like to move forward. I find this communication to be another act of love.

I love and care enough about you to want to grow our relationship by communicating so there can be a more united understanding of each other as an individual but also as a pair. Their reaction is not a tell that you were wrong in communicating, or bad for advocating for yourself. Their reaction is only a tell to themselves how they can handle information (it can be a lot to process), how they choose to communicate in response, and how they choose to move forward. What will you choose to do after their reactions? 

There is also self-love in knowing people will not listen and choosing your own peace over a needless to say useless interaction or 'discussion' that results in a more distressing mental status than needed. 

I hope, if you do wish to have better relationships with the people around you, that you are received well as you receive others and even though it may take time and grace between both parties, that there can be continuous growth and connection.

Have a good day today!!!
