misunderstandings

I called her a few minutes ago... My heart was beating so quickly and my chest getting tense... I was afraid of something small and completely insignificant to get bigger due to a series of misunderstandings. This really tended to be the cause of anytime we fought over the past month... small misunderstandings one side misunderstanding the other - both ways - that piled up and created something bigger. But that can be fixed, easily fixed, with just a little patience. To realize that the other person misunderstood and to re-explain and forgive for any subsequent thing that happened that might have been perceived as offending because the two people were reading the same thing differently. To trust that person intended no harm and simply, simply misunderstood. That's all it is. It's not a foundation shattering difference, it's just something that requires awareness. And eventually, you learn to anticipate the intentions of the other and these misunderstandings evaporate into thin air as if they never existed.
