Honest answer

Today I met one of my few acquaintances. We haven’t met for quite a time.

And as usual, our chat started with the traditional “How are you?” So nothing out of ordinary.

But one thing changed for me during this chat. It was the first time I was able to formulate and express in one sentence everything what is wrong with my present life.

After brief insight into my current health problems, my acquaintance asked me a simple question: “Kriss, what is going on in your life that you are simply breaking into pieces?”.

And here I said it out loud, without second thought and any hesitation at all: “I’m simply doing my work, which I do not like, but which helps me to pay all my bills, but at the same time I do not know what I would like to do instead of the work I have.”

So simple. And it just took me years to admit it honestly.

At least, now I have a starting point, from where I can proceed in changing my life for better. Hopefully.

Right or wrong

Who am I to say that something is right or wrong? How can I be sure that what I’m feeling and saying is true? Is my life experience telling me the right direction?
Honestly, I do not have the answer to any of these questions. I’m simply going with the flow, which means I’m telling what I truly feel and think.
I know that everything I am and say is some sort of expression of my perspective and opinion. I accept that I can be wrong, but I can also be right! The same rules apply to others.
The point is – respect other person’s point of view, because maybe they are right or they can show you the right direction even if they are wrong.
In the end it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. The important part of discussion is mutual honesty, respect and dialog.
