Holding Back

I'm beginning to notice that there are certain times when I just need to hold back.

Sometimes it's hard for me to not be everyone's mother, especially when I care about a person.

But there are times when I feel like I don't know what to say. I want to express an urgency to keep going, I want to express my incredulity at their actions, I want to point out future ramifications of actions. But I just don't know how to say this without being rude or unnecessarily bossy. And it just isn't my place.

So I hold back, and hope that things get done. Hope is confidence, right? A confidence in things not seen but are true. A bit like faith.
