Lit Fuse


Kaboom

I’ve been holding this in for so long and just can’t anymore.  You just make me: fill in the blank.  I’m certain 100% of us have been in the very situation and either were the sender or receiver of that message.  I know the times I’ve done it; I was holding things in and convincing myself, I was avoiding some conflict or argument of some sort.  In actuality, sitting on “it” was just making things worse.  A racing mind can conjure up all sorts of crap.  In my experience, that is typically, what it is, CRAP!  How many times have you blown up and shot your mouth off to find the reasons in your head were totally without merit and 100% wrong, and BOOM goes the dynamite.

If you are sitting on thing and allowing them to fester, the first thing to do is ask why and is it based on fact, emotion, or crap from that past that you are pulling into the present?  Before go Kaboom, do a little root-cause analysis can save you and whoever a lot of angst, stress, and cruel words.
