Now this may seem like a silly statement because teenagers are supposed to have arguments with their parents and whatnot and this is just another moment of teen angst that I am blowing out of proportion. However my mom and I have a good relationship and although I may get annoyed with her a lot, most of the time its just insubstantial garbage. Nevertheless last night she was so annoyed that she came to my friends house and took me home right then. The reason for her anger: that I hadn't told her that I had a slight change in plans, that I hadn't told her exactly what was going on in my life.
Of course I tried to talk in the car but that went nowhere fast-she said we would talk about it in the morning and I spent the night feeling guilty for something I didn't feel I should feel guilty about! Now don't worry this story has a point. When we talked in the morning, the anger quickly left and we both left understanding the others point of view. There was no major punishment and everything was fine.
So why is there all this fear surrounding "talks"? We talk all the time, but the moment someone puts a name to it, it becomes something scary. So why call anything a "talk"? because we want to say something important? because we need build-up to whatever we're going to say? and what if its just that we want to talk, does that need to be alarming?
There are so many little things that we choose not to tell each other and all the little lies eventually will trip us up. Maybe the things we keep from each other keep us from being the way we want to be. So when its time to "talk" we become afraid of what might slip out or what might become apparent. So would the truth set us free? Would you be willing to tell the truth to me? especially if unsure I would to you?
