Be Open

Sometimes you hear the words you need to hear in a song... Or in a TV show.
Sometimes you read the words you need to hear in a Facebook post... Or an advertisement.

You hear what you need to hear. Or you don't hear what you don't want to hear. Selective hearing.

Ever wonder why something feels so perfect at just the right moment? When you are thinking about something specific- love, or sadness or hunger- everything you see feels like it's directed at just that topic.

Sometimes you don't realize that it's easier to express your feelings than to bottle them up and present a resentful hostile face to the world. To the person you're upset at.

In the long run, though it may seem easier to hold a grudge and feel sad about something, perhaps as a way of distancing yourself or protecting yourself from the possibility of future pain- right NOW it's better to be open and honest and express your feelings to the best of your ability.

It leaves you open and vulnerable and it can be uncomfortable, but just imagine how much good can find its way inside you while you're standing there with the door wide open.
