"You hurt the ones closest to you." Someone smarter than me said that. They were probably a better golfer too.

Those you really want to say, "Are you sure? 'Cause that idea sounds kinda stupid to me." turn out to be adversaries, Presidential candidates or others you wouldn't ask to help move you. Those who mean most to us in life don't get to HEAR that from us so often. Don't get me wrong the hardest things to say are understood but rather exuded than said and likewise felt than heard.

Is it a fear of loosing that person? A fear of not wanting to hurt them even if means saving them from (enter bad feeling here).

I've been trying to rewire my communications with those around me. I need to balance truth and tact. I need to say what is on my mind or I can't function (my brain is crazy like that). So if you hear something from me that doesn't quite sound like me; don't automatically assume that I'm a key to a Brainiac & Grod plan to dominate the human race. Rather know that I love you so much I risk saying what I think, tactfully. If we are really good friends we'll fight and then have a beer and talk about 'Heroes'.
