A look at following your heart and speaking your mind….Regardless.

Saying “No” can be very hard to say, yet easy to think. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to tell my friend “No, that dress does not look right” or “No, he is not right for you”. Yet, I held the two letter words inside and thought of her feelings first. How many times have I  wanted to tell my boyfriend “No, I don’t want to watch that movie” or “No, I do not want to go there”. Maybe I do not use that “No” word because it would hurt there feelings. Something i do not want to do.

So what do I do? Do I hold it in? Or do i take the risk and for once say “No” and let the chips fall where they may. Or should I just send them a e-mail telling them I want to be honest. Either way I gotta get the “No” word out. Cause they are all driving me crazy.  

I do not get to go where I want to go.  Is that fair?  I have to adjust my plans and put my activities on hold because they are depressed. I get calls that are so petty. Asking my opinion on “what should I do” questions.

Eating Ice cream while they are depressed, knowing they should cut back on the sweets. Should I tell them. I ask myself that question over and over again. I am having brain overload, as they tell me “thanks for listening, all I wanna do is say “No” and “get a life”. Tough love is hard to give. To be able to say just how I feel, regardless of what happens. At least,  I told them the truth “I told them NO”.
