It is because at home, it is supposed to be our place we our truly ourselves, not the selves we wish we were at all times. It is the place where we are supposed to be the most relaxed and free to feel, think, wear, and do what we want, need, or wish, without the exhausting cognitive pinwheel in our heads reminding us we are in public or someone will hear us. <br><br>The reality is your co-workers do no love you unconditionally. They are not required, obligated, nor expected to like or love you when you make nasty faces and coplain. That is the BEAUTY of family, not the curse. You are right, It is true we need to consider our loved ones more carefully. It is true we owe them respect, love, and sometimes, a shut mouth or poker face. It is a nice thought, to always bring that poker face home. But the reality is, that raw vulnerability, that freedom, is where you can find intimacy and REAL strength.Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12847589808938617433noreply@blogger.com
