Pick Up the Phone!!

 Lately I have been thinking and discussing one little topic and my conclusion:

Communication is Key

I do not care how trivial or serious this communication is, but it is very important.  Human beings are made to be social individuals and language is part of this socialization.  I have come to the realization that everyone feels special when they receive a text message from someone they don't get to see very often.  I have been wrapped up in my own thoughts lately and I was reminded by a very good friend that I should text her more often - just to say hi.  I have even noticed that not receiving a text back when you expect it makes me wonder: where is this text?  Why isn't this person texting me back?  Yes, this is a part of communication that you should maybe think about a little bit more once in a while.  Send someone a text that you haven't talked to in a while.  Remember: The phone works both ways, don't sit around waiting for someone to contact you.

Getting a little deeper.  The lack of communication is almost detrimental to any relationship.  I am guilty of this lack of communication.  There are times where I forget to let people know that I am thinking about them or relay the frustrations I have with them.  Emotionally charged conversations are very difficult for me to start even when I have something serious to say.  I am hoping that this blog helps me get out some of my feelings and help me communicate better.  However, when I was in both of my past relationships, they suffered because I could not bring myself to tell the individual that I was displeased about something serious.  If someone cannot effectively communicate in their relationships, put up the caution sign because something is bound to explode.  Even with my mom I let my feelings bottle up until what could have been a civilized conversation turns into an argument.  Lack of communication can cause failure.  It is something that needs to be recognized and worked on.

There are things I wish I could go back and say out loud or state more clearly.  Part of me feels like I put a lot of thought into this post and I still didn't get out everything that I meant to.  I'm sure you get the point.  I think I'd have to go into more depth about personal things than I want to here, or really need to think about.  The past is in the past and should be treated as such.  

I am just happy that I am starting to open myself up to new possibilities and recognizing faults and learning from past experiences.  In some ways I hope I didn't blow my chances due to this lack of communicating my feelings.  If I did I might not be so open to new possibilities again.  We will see.  My heart is nervous right now.  I'm sure you'll know when I do about the outcome of my new "open" self.  Even that involves conversation and placing my thoughts and feelings in front of someone and apologizing for my lack of communication.

 

Until then, text someone you have been close with to say hi or send them a facebook message saying "I've been thinking about you."  This is actually really important to people, even if you don't think about it.

I have decided that posting in the morning is not a good idea, I think about too much other stuff between then and the end of the night.  This means I have to curse you with two posts in one day.  It is time to go to bed and watch some Supernatural.  I have a lot of homework to get done this week!  Stay positive!
