THE DISCOMFORT OF ASSUMPTIONS

"There are days when you need someone who just wants to be your sunshine and not the air you breathe."
~ Robert Brault ~

When others assume that I will feel a certain way, it offends me. How can they possibly know when I don't even know myself? And I'm sure I make assumptions about others in the same way- more than I can possibly realize or care to admit. But in truth, it's disrespectful, so I want to make an effort to stop.
     Let's give others their autonomy, in the hope that we might therefore be able to enjoy it ourselves.

I don't presume to know how other people may think, feel, or react. I allow for fresh vision on a daily basis.
