Intent

I am learning that some conversations are better left undone.

Never started.

I am learning to ask myself if a conversation with certain people on certain topics would be productive.

By productive, I am referring to respectful, both parties listening and hearing what is being sent, without specific intent... 

If something needs solving or adjusting, then it is done with respect.

If something does not need solving or adjusting, then it can be left undone with respect.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where there is a lot of entitlement.

People feel strongly that their thoughts are superior than others.

People feel that they know everything about everything.

And we are made to believe that we have to try to have a conversation with these people, while maintaining dignity, yet trying to establish our thoughts and feelings, knowing full well that they have no intention of actually hearing what we have to say.

Hard.

Frustrating.

Scary.

Exhausting.

I am learning to let these conversations go.

Just let them go.

Boundaries.
