I find this to be a paradox
and I’m damn tired of them
why can’t it just be clear and easy to understand
people’s motives
and if they can be trusted
Paradox

I am a longtime lover of words, writing, reading. I am happily married with three children who are tip toeing with adulthood. I grew up in a musical home and was taught piano and in turn all my kids play the piano, and two of them, as well as my husband, are gifted vocalists. We love to make music and my copy of Les Miserables is falling apart from years of beautiful memories around the piano. Chopin and Jim Brickman feel like old friends I can't live without. I live in the beautiful city Denver where I am a nurse. View all posts by coloradopoet

You have to assume they can’t be trusted and go from there. It’s unfortunate but that’s the way the world is today.

Yes, but often I feel this way about the people the very closest to me. And it’s something you’ve aluded to before that I think we should all practice. It’s boundry setting with those we love the very best. For both them and us. It’s the realization that we all have faults and given free access to treading on those we love in our own best interest that that will happen on occasion. And it’s up to each of us to be sure we respect ourselves and want the person we love not to be able to easily sacrifice their own integrity as well because we don’t have good boundaries (for respect, language , financial co dependence etc). It’s something that is constantly on my mind as I raise my kids and have to say no to them and redirect them and demand respect at times, and also being married to a type A very opinionated man. I love your thoughts, btw and agree with your way of thinking so much! It’s very encouraging to know another person that finds these topics important!!
