You wouldn’t call it complaining because…well…that doesn’t sound tasteful. You’re just voicing what you THOUGHT was going to happen? Or you’re just letting someone know how you thought they were going to deliver + the ways it fell short, right?
But then all the sudden, your critical eye that began as a strength + allowed you to highlight ways to improve + pursue excellence becomes your filter upon life itself.
Complaining is one of those sneaky robbers that convinces you they’re a warranted visitor, amidst slowly packing up your joy + your passion + your awareness + your peace in their bag, and all the sudden they’ve made the place that used to be warm + inviting, a sterile, hard place to operate.
