Misunderstanding


I feel like everyone in their lifetime has been or will be misunderstood. If not then you arent great! LOL. But in all honesty, I had to realize that being misunderstood isnt a bad thing at all. Doesnt mean something is wrong with you. It just simply means that your opinion or point of view wasnt viewed the same way as the next person. Many people misunderstand people for the wrong reasons however. Dont misunderstand me because you "think" you know something about me and in all actuality you dont. Dont misunderstand me because I walk, talk, and look a certain way that isnt comparable to your style. They only misunderstanding we should have is through conversation. If you have never had a conversation with me worth something, you have no place misunderstanding me and if you have had a conversation with me and you didnt understand something and you didnt ask questions then, you still dont have any place misunderstanding me. Questions are meant to be asked to be answered. If you dont ask, you wont get an answer. That simple! Life is simple. People make it harder than it needs to be. Many people dont understand me and that is fine. I wasnt meant to be understood. I am a puzzle, piecing together all of my pieces one day at a time. If I dont completely understand myself, I dont expect anyone else to. People mistakenly misunderstand me for things I am not. Assumption is whats wrong with the world today especially the black community. We always assume but never ask! Mistakenly misunderstood...thats me!
