Having Brave Conversations

Tough conversations can be difficult, but most things worth having are. For the sake of peace we often avoid discussions that may lead to confrontation. Don’t get me wrong there’s a time and a place for everything, but false serenity can only last so long. The underlying tension will come out in one way, or another, more than likely in a negative manner since it’s been pent up.
Keep in mind there are ways to start tough talks maturely: this is hard but I wanted to talk to you about… When’s the last time you started a conversation that matters? What was it about? How did the other party react? How did you feel afterwards? Via: Vintage Vivid’s

Repainting People

Time and time again we repaint people to be their potential, or who we wish they were. Naw b. That’s not it. If someone shows you this me, believe them. Don’t repaint them and act accordingly. Nor am I repainting the people who are complicit with their behavior in a bad manner. Who are you repainting? Why? Via: Vintage Vivids
