A blog about nothing in particular. Just my personal ramblings about this life I am drifting through.
I can never tell my family exactly what is on my mind. I don't like to start conflict and I often go extra lengths to be a peacemaker. I feel so spineless. Just once I would like to be brave enough to speak freely. Just once.

I have a full life that I intend to enjoy to my dying day! I have an exasperating but totally cute husband, 3 smarter-than-me kids and a huge extended family that may or may not be blood related. Be prepared to be confused. I know I am.

I can give you lessons if you want, and you can show me how to keep my mouth shut for once. Deal?
**hugs**
Hope it gets better.
I know what you mean I feel like I don't speak my mind enough.
let it rip girl let it rip!!!
What keeps you from speaking up? Fear? If so, of what?
You can borrow my spine if you want. It's a bit crooked, but it'll do. :)
thank you all for your support. My husband is the only person in the world that I feel I can speak my mind. And I guess that is the one relationship that matters the most. My family, well you grow up with a certain 'role' and to step out of that would create chaos. So I keep my mouth shut. I am afraid of hurting feelings or saying something badly (you know when things come out wrong). Words can never be taken back so I choose them carefully.
Can you teach me to choose words carefully? I always say the first thing that springs to mind, I'm a firey sort.
I think it's good to sometimes be a jellyfish, as long as you have someone you can speak your mind too, which you do. As Sangroncito says, maybe that's why we blog - it's a great place to speak freely about many important things.
It's good to let things work themselves out without too much involvement a lot of times.. That's when people learn to be more independent.
My mother meddles in my life so much that I now tune her out - without even trying.
