I grew up in a house full of kids. There were six of us ... it was a noisy house and I was as noisy as the rest of them. Sometimes the noise and confusion was so bad you just wanted to yell "SHUT UP!". I only did that once and by the time my mother was done with me I never did it again. Don't get me wrong...she did not hit me...but the lecture I got was enough to keep me from ever doing that again... " What right do you have for trying to control what another person says or does?" she asked me. "just because I wanted something didn't mean the other people in the room did" She stated. "If you wanted quiet, I could go to your room and be alone where it is quiet..." Granted my room was share by three other sisters so you were never alone and it was rarely quiet ... I'll never know why she was so passionate about the subject, but she was... As a result, I never liked the words "shut up" either. When I hear someone say them...the hair on my neck stands up....
For the last few days, no matter what I say it is not being heard... it is just noise ....so today.
I need to be quiet.
And if I could, I would yell " SHUT UP!"
Now if I could just silence the thoughts in my head too...maybe I could have some peace....
