Sometimes you really do have to be cruel to be kind– that’s what I keep learning 🙂
It’s 2 : 07 PM on day 687 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, publish my Disability of the Day feature, work, feed myself a boiled egg for breakfast, drink Green Tea by myself, work some more and practice typing with both hands – like everything else in my life this is going to take a lot of practice but I know I will be able to do it eventually because I never quit quitters never win and winners never quit 🙂
Today I said something to my mother which really pissed her off strangely enough though I didn’t feel bad about saying it because I was just being honest in today’s world most people are so scared of hurting people’s feelings or pissing people off that they don’t say what they know they need to say thankfully I’m not one of those people if I see you hurting yourself or someone else intentionally or otherwise you better believe I’ll have a few things to say about it and if you hate me for it at least you’d be alive to do it. Are you willing to be cruel to be kind?
I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
The more we go along in my son’s medical journey, I find myself caring far less about what others think and feel. My new motto has become, “Take care of your own stuff, I have enough of my own to deal with.” I am far more blunt with people than I used to be and I honestly feel quite liberated.
I know the feeling 🙂
