over the years, i've bit my tongue and withheld strong opinions so many times, i very rarely speak up anymore. it seems like people don't listen so much (and, really, i just mean hear ... i've had people ask me a question and then not pause for my 2- to 5-second answer). and, i often wonder why expressing my opinions matters to anyone but myself - not in a poor-me way, in a realistic one. i so enjoy a solid, meaningful conversation, but so many seem trivial and trite. maybe we've forgotten how to communicate face-to-face. we need to stop to listen.
