on communication.

Over the past few months I have really been learning a lot about communication.

One day it’s making sure I talk with my boss so we’re on a same page.  I learned this the hard way- getting a call saying “you still on for tomorrow?”, when I wasn’t ever confirmed for that date of work.

Other times it’s been between Abby and I- we are a ridiculous couple.  God has made us, man and woman so differently, and yet so often we think that we’ll perceive things the same.  Once in awhile, we get tension between each other because we just don’t talk it out, assuming the other knows what we’re non-verbally communicating- we’re working on that one!

It seems like often it’s so hard to initiate communication, like my greatest insecurities come out when I just think about communicating.

I feel like my boss will think I’m bugging him, and my girlfriend will misunderstand what I say and we’ll break up, when really the opposite is true in real life.

My boss is happy when I call to confirm, and my girlfriend understands when I bring something up to talk about(more than when I don’t bring it up).

Many days it’s a hard thing to do, but it’s totally worth it.

You and I just have to take the leap.
