Chiu baby,
We get understood and misunderstood the moment we open our mouth :)
The power of words and what others make of our words is truly amazing. That is why it is so important to consider what the receiver of your communication is going to perceive your communication as. What this means is if you want to tell me that you need a two minute break, saying that you are tired of studying doesn't help. It makes me angry because well you never want to study:) Life would be simpler if you just said - mom, I need a short break. (It really is this simple!)
Likewise in writing. Keep your audience in mind and then write. Read what you have written, edit and rewrite till you know that it can't be misinterpreted in any way.
Remember, that words are the expressions of our soul. Use them carefully, use them wisely, use them to create joy and lessen pain and most important of all use them sparingly. In moments of doubt, anger or frustration, keep quiet. It will save you more trouble than you can possibly imagine.
Talk a lot to this one person - yourself. There is no power greater than that of reflection, of thinking, assimilating and then creating anew. Discover the old (through reading, insightful conversations )and create anew.
And always my love, talk to me; even when I don't seemingly understand. I love you more everyday in every way .
Mummy
