To chat, or not to chat,
That is the question. Whether 'tis
nobler in the mind to blurt
it out and suffer the slings
and arrows of those who judge;
or swallow it up and face
the outrageous fortune and the sea
of troubles alone. There's the rub.
I've often wished I was a
"blurter" ... but I've always weighed my
words and held a lot inside.
Lately I'm believing it's not one
or the other. I'm finding balance.
I cherish times of reflection, and
I'm getting chattier as I age...

Love the sentiments, and your creativity. Ahhhh, you are pondering the eternal question :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a 'blurter' and wish I was better at weighing my words before I speak. I guess balance really is the key.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Lately I'm too tired to blurt or weigh my words, so I'm just quiet. In person. Not so much on the internet... ;)
ReplyDeleteBalance is key even though I speak my mind too much :) nice :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! And I agree - I think it is about balance. Some things are meant to be blurted, others held inside :)
ReplyDeleteLove your artwork, Adrienne. Isn't it interesting to see how we change with time?
