Isn’t it funny how sometimes people care about you too much that they go about it in totally the wrong way?
It drives you crazy sometimes, but when you think about it, and reflect, and admit that sometimes you too do the same things, you can’t help but have a little bit of adoration for those people. Simply because, they are making an effort to show you they care.
I adore the way they care, and I will smile and play along and be tactful when need be, because of the very thought that for a few brief moments, they put me, ahead of themselves. The least I can do, is to humour them. The most I can do, is, as Sean Connery would say, “Be myshelf”.
“…here is where many who know me best would say “buttt…?” while rolling their eyes… Lol, I miss them…”
But, in all honesty, I guess it is time for me to address the issue in relation to my own self. The care, effort and advice are well appreciated, you; yourself and all of you, are well appreciated, but at the end of the day, what you think I want, may not be what I actually want.
“…let’s not go to 'needs’, a can of worms that…”
It’s a delicate process trying to tell somebody that their concern is misplaced; if mishandled, bridges will be burnt (something I know quite a lot about apparently), and thus I closed the gap between my lips, and let the synapses in my brain play musical chairs to remedy the best solution to the problem…
Until I realized there was none.
These people will keep on caring, and will keep on assuming what I want, and will “help” me achieve those dreams, no matter what. I would have told them harshly to “minda your owna bizness ce?”, but it’s that realization of their intent that stops me from being the asshole that I usually am.
So here’s to keeping your mouth shut, being tactful, and humouring these people, because, at the end of the day, they mean no evil; they mean no harm.
“I appreciate it, but that future is yours, not mine, now allow me to continue building mine, and I assure you, when I’m done – which isn’t too far off now – you’d come up to me, crock your head sideways, and say, “huh?””
Understanding: Easy for some, not for other - while a few, simply don’t care.
