Women, we talk alot

"Women talk too much!" im sure you've heard that one before. We talk about everything! Our feelings, the way we wish we felt, our neighbors feelings..you name it we'll talk about it. I've always seen my need for communication as a bad thing. I found it to be a needy quality when in reality it's just the way im wired. I love to be connected with friends, family, even strangers and know whats on their hearts. No wonder than men always joke about not being able to get a word in!
Most of the time they are the more internal counterpart who balance us very vocal women out. Im so happy that God made us the way that he did. Women need to be validated, listened to and have their words heard. men on the other hand have different needs. In my experience they need respect, affection and affirmation that they indeed have what it takes. These two roles can either make a sweet harmony in a relationship or a frantic havoc depending on how you view the different needs of the sexes.
This post isn't intended to talk about relationships at all. In fact i started writing this in attempt to express how important talking is to women. I guess i am a true stereotype because i couldn't stay on one subject long enough without being led into something entirely different. Okay..(refocus)..
The gift of speech is important and women should use it to their full advantage. I am a talker and i think that it is a gift not a hindrance. All that said I want to learn how to think before i speak my mind and listen just as much as i gab. It's a work in progress and im not so good at the listening part yet but i think asking questions can teach you much more than you think. Sometimes silence is the best way to learn more about yourself. So there's my little lecture for the week..women listen just as much as you speak and maybe let men talk a bit too ;)
