The eternal internal debate. To speak up or let it slide. The balance between self-righteous preaching and speaking out. Whether you are being told to be quiet because you are a women and your voice should not be loud enough to be heard or maybe it is because you are voicing an inconvenient truth or is it because you are being aggravating ... just too much. Why can't you just lighten up? Are the people telling you to be quiet the people that are too scared to voice their opinions or even have them? People who care about being liked rather than speaking out and saying what needs to be said? If so .... Keep speaking up little girl!
