I hate confronting people....
I prefer things to be nice and good and calm.
But there are times...like when someone asks you a question, where you have to say what you think and feel...even if it comes out wrong and jumbled...and are left with that debilitating feeling in the pit of your stomach.
But saying something, even when nauseating, is probably...probably....better than not saying anything at all...at least I think it is..but it may not be.
I hope that when you confront, you do it with grace and love...but that the other is better because of it, not worse.
