Communication is so important. So important. Especially with those you are closest to. It is so easy to let a misunderstanding drive you crazy and further away from them. Speak up! Let your thoughts be known, explain why you feel the way you do. Perhaps you will find that what they said and what they meant don't actually meet up with what you think they meant. No person is the same, and the greatest mistake we can make is to unjustly misunderstand another.
Find out what the person you are talking to is really saying, ask them why they think that way, find out what they really mean. It will draw you so much closer. Understanding is what creates closeness in relationships. Misunderstanding is what creates wedges and discontent. Often the person does not mean offense in what they are saying.
And remember, "Communication, communication is key... The only way to not... is to... not."
Communication is key. It can make the difference of opinion change to make everything back to normal. It can be but one word left out in a vital informational rant that could make or break the conversation. Always ask questions. You'll never know the whole truth.
