the yellow light

I always say this and i won't get tired of telling you over and over again that communication really is one key to a relationship's success. Whenever, wherever or whatever you are doing, you'll be needing to communicate. To interact, to socialize, to catch up with an old friend, to solve distance problems of couples, to ease a grieving heart,to understand what has been misunderstood and even just to ride a public vehicle what we need is communication.

Lots of people are afraid to tell what they really feel. Maybe they just don't know how to say it, the approach and the right words to be used. Hard, indeed. But we have to face it. If we let things hanging for a long time, that might result to bigger and harder problem to solve. As early as possible, try to talk it over. Prepare yourself for every possible answers to your question. Anticipate worst cases, so even if it's that hurtful you'll have enough strength to face it. There will be high probability of making the right decision. It's because you've thought of it over and over again, which means, for the good of the many that choice has to be chosen.

This happens always, especially with couples. Problems, conflicts, misunderstandings, and even deception. Initially, we tend to overreact on things. We commit the mistakes we don't want to commit. We become impulsive, non-thinking creatures. But it's natural. You let your emotions flow, and released from its box inside you. But think of it, isn't it better for us to be relaxed at first. Be rational, and approach the matter at hand smoothly. Take it slowly. Be mature. Be extra careful of everything you want to do, for this will reflect your personality. This is your own way of saving yourself from, let's just say "embarrassment". Like that of the traffic light, it's not just green and red but there is yellow. In love, we do not always throw ourselves to every opportunity at hand. We also have to learn letting go and stopping. But before we achieve either way, we have to pass the center or the balancing part. We have to see things on both sides. That is possible through the yellow light. Make use of your yellow light. Have a yellow heart.
