Sometimes people need to think about their motive when they talk to people.. If ur objective is to share care and concern or even encouragement... don't suddenly change the conversation into teaching or reprimanding one halfway..

I don't need to know how much I fail to meet ur high expectations.. your need for me to have the most positive of mindset, to be traditional and subservient in the face of authority or even to rise above the unjust situation..

What I need is a listening ear and a sympathetic pat on the back.. what I need is for you to understand my frustrations with the situation.. and be okay with my reactions becos I'm human and I am not perfect.. I am not an enlightened being that can rise above all kinds of situations.. I should be entitled the time to think.. to evaluate.. to navigate a new situation..

And I would love to be trusted to be able to eventually rise above.. to know that in ur mind and heart that you believe that I have the right mindset to get me past this and make the right decisions and choices..

So please stop criticising my behaviour and stop your need to preach or rush me to be a better person.. I don't need it.. I can live with one less criticism or one less harsh judgement on my character..

I will get there on my own time.. at least I believe I will.. even if I'm the only one who does..
