OUR VIEW: Sometimes you need those hard conversations

Like most, we always tend to avoid the difficult situations in our lives, hoping they’ll all smooth over if we let things be. It’s easier that way; the less thought we put into these difficult situations, the easier it is to go on with our lives.

The energy can be taxing, the weight it has in our heads weighs a ton, and for the most part, the conversations we have are not what we want to hear. However, silence does not solve the problem — it has a tendency to make things worse.
