Even though I didn't make some big display of what happened on the surface, it doesn't mean that I didn't make choices deep down inside about what to do. Even though you didn't see my choices, it doesn't mean that there won't be consequences.
When I was very young, I was completely out of control in regards to my emotions. I would explode at everything and I was about the closest thing you could get to a living lightning storm. Everything about me was a living stress reaction to what was happening in life and I didn't have any control over it.
But as I grew up and learned how to control myself a little bit more, I became quieter. I stopped talking as much and learned to listen more to what was going on around me. Instead of being a reaction to everything, I became an observer.
And from all of this, I learned something very important about life.
Not everything needs some sort of big reaction.
Not everything needs to have a huge amount of effort attached to it.
There isn't always a need for large reactions to things that are happening in life.
And as I would soon find out, there's a great amount of strength in being graceful under pressure. Instead of resisting everything, you have to go with it and be more fluid.
This was one of the greatest things I learned. But there was something else as well...
It was for others to never mistake my ability to keep myself calm under pressure in the face of someone else losing their own character to be inaction on my part.
You can act in silence.
You can be gentle with your touch.
You can be ever so calm.
Because if you know what is good for your heart and your soul, you will learn that exploding and losing control is only going to harm you in the long run.
It's a beautiful thing to be looking out for yourself and all for the other person as well.
Because I could raise hell, but I won't. I'm looking out for me, and I'm looking out for you at the same time.
It's time to try a different approach.
