agree to disagree

i feel like this has been a theme in my relationships lately...
learning how to get past disagreements and still uphold respect and understanding.

as in most everything, there is a balance.
a balance between listening respectfully and voicing an opinion.
between introducing a new point of view and keeping your mouth shut.

how do you know when is the right time to speak up? and when to be quiet?

i'm not sure. i think i'm still learning.

relationships are messy.

but this i do know...
what is life without the joy, the heartache, the mess of relationships?

nada.
