Sharing is caring, at least that's what everyone has been taught. I make it sound like I don't agree my bad, it's true sharing is caring, but sometimes we don't care. What a turn that sentence took, annnywaaaays let's explain my environment right now. There's a party in my house, everyone's singing, and I'm listening to everyone scream and sing while writing. That should raise the question, "why would you put yourself under such writing conditions?" To be honest I'm asking myself that too. Nah I'm kidding, but I put myself here because I am listening to these people share their words and this moment. What sharing I want to talk about today is first and foremost the promised fourth paragraph of last weeks writing "Complaints" which is who to complain to, explain to you the basics of sharing and something that I think people should know because of the amount of people I see without this skill, and why I'm in the middle of this mess, sharing the moment. I also want to end it off with something small that happened in my life that I feel can be related to this. So when you're trying to empty your complaints onto someone, you need to find the right person to tell. You can't have someone fake that'll just spread everything you said, and you can't have someone that literally won't help you and doesn't really care about what you're saying. Last week I said someone you trust and like. Which one of those two words is most important? It's trust. I don't care who you chose the first step to it though is that you better trust that person 100% to keep the conversation one on one. Second of all, no it's not like the person, make sure that person will be helpful to you, telling your issues to someone and having them stare back at you isn't going to relieve to much, find someone that you trust and will also help you understand those problems and or complaints, and possibly turn them into lessons. The third and last main green-light you should have is, still not like them, but you should be able to understand them, by that I don't mean don't talk to someone that doesn't know your language, no. What I mean is that you should be able to know where they are coming from when they help you, make sure you can pick up what they're putting down. Just make sure it's not to heavy and you can't pick it up, or it's too light and it's pointless. After all this all you probably got from it is, "so I shouldn't like the person I'm telling this to?" Well obviously that's not what I mean, but that's not what I don't mean either. So if you have someone you like and fits all of those, go ahead and have that conversation with them friends and homies are always awesome to talk to. Now let's go to the other side of the spectrum. People you don't like why in the world would you want to talk to them about your complaints. Well let's assume the people you don't like are complete jerks, always rude, but they are rude because of the rule 'the truth hurts.' I feel that there are people that no one likes, that lonely kid that's so honest and rude. But the thing about those people is that a lot of them are trustworthy, a lot of them will help someone in need, and a lot of them will DEFINITELY be understood, because of these people's honesty, they will give you the raw facts of your complaints and tell you how or why they don't matter. Might be annoying but they will get the job done. I know this because I used to be that person. And I can say that all they want is someone to talk to, just like you. If I took the time I could have made just the first paragraph into an entire writing, but that'd have broken my promise so we gonna keep it that long mess, hope you got something useful out of it. Let's move on to the next one I have a feeling this one will be big too so prepare yourself. "Sharing is caring, but sometimes we don't care." Let's go back to that statement. So let's say you have some information, in your opinion this is the coolest thing ever and people need to know about this to complete their life. Admit it, it happens to everyone, we will think we have some information that's amazing. Then we look back on it and call ourselves stupid. Or reverse the roles someone else tells you something you don't give a crap about, and you just look at them with the nice look of "I don't care, please stop talking." Once again admit, it happens. When this happens, not even gonna say "if it happens," ask yourself, how important is this really?" Then if the answer is not that important, then cool you can tell some close friends or keep your other worldly knowledge to yourself. There is a chance though that this information is somewhat important. If this is the case then the question to ask yourself is "would this person care about, whatever it is you have to say?" That's something that will help you be less annoying to people as well as saving your breath, your time, and someone else's time. The second part of this is be careful about what you share, In the book "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu he states, that you should not give away all your information, then you're predictable and enemies will know your next move, you don't want that. In realities words, don't answer every question you're asked. Sharing the moment. I've talked about our need for other people in our lives, and I've talked about putting the phone down when it's necessary. Now let's put those together and you have, sharing the moment. You need to find some close, and I mean close friends, homies that you can hit up any time and talk about anything. With these people you should put the phone down, and make some awesome memories, and share the moment. This is a tiny paragraph with a lot of weight I hope you can pick up, this is one of the best most important parts of your life, I really hope you make someone awesome memories in life. Lastly let me touch on something that happened about a week or a week and a half ago. My dad posted that weird "poem" thing I wrote in "I Wonder" in this post, it was on facebook, there were a lot of positive comments from family and friends. I got a lot of praise basically, I want to touch on the reaction to this praise. I read all the comments, I smiled, and then thought to myself, if I want more of this I need to keep going they way I am now. Don't grow arrogant off compliments and change how you do something, learn to improve from complements. That's all for that. To be honest the last one didn't relate as much as I thought it would the only thing that it related to was my dad "shared" the post lol. Besides that thought this writing is coming to a close, I haven't wrote something this long in awhile so if you read all the way through thank you and good job. I hope you know what kind of people to talk to, what to share, and remember to share the moment. I'll see you next week and yea peace. Original
