this one time i was dumb...

why do we always feel like we have to tell people things? i think i might have exploded about this before- but it probably had more to do with other people than myself or it had to do with my own frustration at wanting to shout things from the rooftops to make people pay attention to me while i refused to and kept it all inside. i mean, community's important and without truth there can be no true community, but again i ask, "where's the line between telling people things to get attention and accomplish some manipulative ulterior motive and telling them to allow true community and honesty between people?" for years i've preached that if it doesnt matter, dont say it. if someone doesnt need to know, dont tell them. people cant keep their mouths shut, so if anything has anything to do with another person- it WILL get to them. i would much rather handle my own uncomfortable situations, thank you. i guess it's different with every person. or every issue. sorry that i don't have these separated very well. and some things are harder for you to handle but easier for others when you keep it in, but easier for you and harder for them when it comes out. how selfish is that?! once again, it's all about me. way to try to fit god into your little god-box again. someday i'll remember how freaking big he is for more than five seconds after i close my bible. suck.
