Today, I feel more strongly that I’m shifting into speaking from my heart. Meaning that the speech is sincere and less filtered. There is some filter to protect the receiver. The intention is to speak with clarity and directness.

It feels unbelievably uncomfortable, though this lessens after practicing a few times. Sometimes it feels that I’m being hurtful to others, though I try to be as gentle as possible with my words.

Upon reflection, I realise that the gentleness of words is because I think the other person will perceive the directness too harshly. With people who can take the directness, there’s less gentleness. Haha.

Past me would be proud of me now.
