Confession

I have a confession. As a professional that prides herself in explaining the benefits of communication to others, I don't like communicating my confessions.

We all have things we want to say in the course of a day, something I participate in regularly. But I have hit a communications wall. My ability to determine the strength and weakness of each piece I write is easy for me to determine.

But what do you do when the piece you write could alter your world as you know it? Do you blindfold yourself and pull the trigger because you think that it will help you solve the problem? Or do you apply the rules of the world and weigh out your options and the eventual road blocks you may face and could force others to face?

We live our lives learning, from a young age, that the truth should guide you. But no one ever explained what to do when you realize the truth could cause you and those involved pain.

My confession: I refuse to speak my mind if it will cause those I love and cherish pain.
