Say Something Sunday..

"But, I’m gonna need you to say something baby, say something baby, say something baby; I’m gonna need you to say something baby, say something baby, say something baby..."
                                                    Say Something - Timbaland feat. Drake

 How many times have you decided to let something go for the sake of not wanting to 'Say Something'?  How many times have you chosen that for the sake of someone's feelings or emotions that you would keep your thoughts, comments, and opinions to yourself even if it concerns you, your sanity or your well being? I am sure that I know the answer, probably too many times.


So often we think that our silence is rescuing us from something.  Whether it be the truth, an argument or some type of vulnerability we think that shutting our mouth will somehow fix the situation. The truth is, it rarely does.  There are occasions when it is not the time nor the place to engage in certain conversations but that does not mean that, at some point, the conversation does not need to be had.


For me, confrontation is not a negative word.  I am a believer that there are times when situations do not change and people continue to hurt you in some way because they don't know how you really feel. Please understand, I do not feel that I have a license to say what I want in the name of  "expression" but I do tend to know where I stand in most relationships and situations because when something needs to be said I say it.


Some people love it, others..well they don't love it so much.  But I am not deterred, every night when I go to bed I am free.  I know that I have given all that I have verbally and emotionally.  Anyone that has spent any amount of time with me knows where they stand and can rest assured that when the rubber meets the road and an issue arises not only am I willing to talk about it but depending on the issue, I am able to take responsibility for my actions and respond accordingly.

I wonder how many relationships could have been restored with one conversation. How many of our lives are polluted with missed opportunities and words not spoken?  Today, clean the air, let it out, care to share...say whatever is on your mind, say whatever you feel, say those things that you have always wanted to say.  Today, say anything that you want as long as you say something!!
