Let Me Count the Ways -- TBCF MM5, *SLAVE*, Dulce Secrets, JPK

Sometimes when we're most affected by something or someone, we're least able to speak about it. It could be something that we think about or daydream about all through a day, but to actually say it? Too scary!

I think the internet and chat specifically prompted me to utilize all the communication skills I'd learned growing up and express myself fairly well most of the time. I realized quickly that when exchanging instant messages, a lot could be lost in translation.

I also learned fairly early in my internet journey that people cannot read my mind. A few over the years have taken time to know me and had a better chance of reading my mood, but no, not one, none... ever learned to read my mind.

I choose to be blunt. I also choose to do my best not to hurt anyone's feelings, not strangers, not friends. Sometimes being blunt and protecting someone's feelings cross purposes. That's when every ounce of skill you ever learned in communication comes in handy.

I will articulate to you clearly how I feel about you, what I think about something you said, or other opinion type details... if you ask. Some long time ago, a sonnet writer began a poem, "How do I love Thee, let me count the ways." I clarify, explain, repeat... until I've said something well enough that you can understand me. Let me count the ways.
