Chile, yes! There are two things that immediately come to mind right now, assumptions and passive aggressiveness. I have been inundated with these in just about every aspect of life, and my energy is on its last leg.

Take assumptions, for instance. Sometimes you can’t help but make them, but it’s dangerous to operate on constant assumptions about other people’s thoughts and behaviors. I’ve had to talk through more assumed issues and behaviors than I want to admit right now. And what makes that so tiring is that these assumptions could’ve been cleared up with simple communication. A simple question to clarify or a relaying of information back to make sure there was clear comprehension.

Then there’s the passive aggressiveness. Instead of just expressing a problem clearly, it has to become a roundabout new story to force the hand of someone else. And that doesn’t really help, because then there’s usually some passive aggressive response that just extends the issue beyond need. And the moment someone tries to get to the bottom of it, now no one knows what anyone is talking about. It’s a lot, and it makes me appreciate mental health professionals so much more. They gotta be sitting up rolling their eyes in their ear sometimes with how we handle certain things. 😂

Anyway, I say again yes. I need a break, and I look forward to having one soon. Maybe I’ll take a nice trip to a secluded beach with plenty of fruity drinks and a nice book in my hands. ✌🏽
