There are many things never brought to the table and many
things that are left unsaid. At times
you begin to believe it’s the result of someone else… you begin to blame other
people for the things you will not say or do.
Eventually the darkness that evolved is going to begin winding its way
into the souls of those around you who have listened and encouraged a
resolve.
The unsettling result is that
it now has become a problem to them – the entire situation was not a part of
their life until the advice and encouragement to step up and handle your
situation was ignored. They begin to
feel their time was wasted and they choose to push your darkness away. They begin searching for an outlet. They start a fire you have to tend to. They
never walk away, they simply push you to find resolve and if you forget to be you
and continue to blame others that fire will burn unattended and gradually leave
you without. You can choose to put out
that fire and take care of the situation, but no longer will others carry your
burden.
Sometimes the only way to
motivate someone to stand up, to speak out, or even to walk away, is to
overstep an invisible line; an unspoken line.
One you never wanted them to cross but never told them they couldn’t. Your noxious situation can no longer be pressed
upon others without consequence.
