hurts
last night at work a lady came through the door and i proceeded to walk over to ask her if she needed help. before one word was uttered however, i knew she was going to have an attitude about her. and she did. a few minutes into our conversation i could already tell that she had been hurt in the past- by what i didn't know- but she had put a wall up to any male around her. (makes talking to her a whole lot harder!) i was never right, and she was never wrong. at least that's the way she viewed it; regardless of whether or not i actually got paid to do this for a living. the one thing that kept going through my mind as i was talking to her though was i was wishing that for just one second i could put her back to before when she was hurt- so she could see what it's like to live without that pain; without useless weight holding her down. nothing i said in the hour and a half that she was with me changed her countenance, and my actions at work are limited in conversation with her.she called back this morning and for a second it sounded as though she was normal- then her guard went right back up. i only hope that she might see something in me that would bring healing.
a friend told me this morning that when i call and leave a message, that friend does indeed call me back. (after i said on the voicemail that it was pointless to leave a message as i knew i'd have to make the next phone call if i ever wanted to get in touch) when was never specified- it could be months down the road but i did get a call back. i said that next time i leave a message i'll be a little more specific- some time in the next decade would be helpful!! random.

Communication is very tricky. Best be careful of the words you use and the words you hear. :-)
