Time

Some talk to you in their free time, and some free their time to talk to you. Learn the difference. (Mouthwatering recipes, Hassan Chief)

Grand rising world of writers. I know it has been a while since I have been on here writing, but, as you all know, life has been lying to me, and I am blessed to be back at it again. To start, this quote is significant to me because it is true no matter how you look at it.

Most people do talk to you in their free time because whatever they are doing or dealing with now comes first, before you and everything else you personally have going on. When people do this, it lets me know they are busy, and if they are my true friends, they will make the time to communicate with me.

Now I am not saying to simply sit around and wait on them to make the first or even the next move, but what I am saying is don’t hold your breath on an individual who you can clearly see only comes around you when they have some of their time freed up. To me, this is a selfish person who only halfway cares about your needs and wants.

Now, for those individuals who free up their time to communicate with you, these are the people who show you they care about your overall well-being. They will do whatever they can to stop and listen to what you have to say, and they may even have a solution to whatever you’re facing at that moment in your life. You must know the difference between the two because people will come along and pretend to have your back, but in reality, they are studying your every move to see how they can come and attack. You have to be mindful whenever these kinds of attacks happen, because if you are not, you will find yourself in a mental battle you should not be in, and this is not good for you or the people who genuinely have your best interests at heart.

I am the person who overcommunicates because I need to make sure I am clear about what I am saying to someone at the same time to communicate effectively. The other person is choosing not to consider my feelings at the time, so I will fall back and stop giving you the information you pretended you needed. I have no problem making time for those individuals who honestly make time for me, but if you show me something different in your actions, I will disconnect from the conversation and move on with my life. If you are for me when I am in the middle of a storm, then you will be with me when we come out on the other side, which will be positive and beautiful.

Now I know that the holidays are here, but let’s all keep in mind that there is always going to be someone out there in this world with a situation that is harder than yours, so please show a bit more love, kindness, and understanding because you could be in that person's shoes and not even know how you got there.
