so i was listening to the song "say" by john mayer the other day. i really like that song. it's a powerful message--the message to "say what you need to say"...but that's so hard to do sometimes, especially when the very thing you say will change your life forever--maybe in a good way, or in a bad way. how has it become that words are so powerful they can rip through our society? it's an interesting concept, at the end of the day...because when you "say what you need to say", it's out there, you're vulnerable, exposed, and rid of the secrets. and the bad part, is that you are vulnerable, exposed, and rid of the secrets--and the ball is in someone else's court, so you are no longer in control. so when to speak, and when to keep silent? it's the eternal question.
