I always communicate. I'm a talker - always have been. In all honestly rejection isn't so bad. It's part of life. We need those lessons because we learn - eventually - it's not the end of the world.
I'm digging the last line empty envelope - speaks volumes!
Poetry without a sound - that struck me. I believe life is too short to not say what we feel in our hearts, and if we are rejected, which hurts, at least we spoke our peace You'll never know unless you try. Great senryu
After a dozen lifetimes of holding my tongue to avoid conflict and rejection, perceived or real, I still struggle with this very concept. Fantastic subject and fabulous format in which to express it. I only wish I had the answer. H🌷
