I will preface by saying that I'm 75% Italian and 25% Irish. Straight up. So there's a lot of heat, passion and intensity in me (and my family). However, I'm a Pisces so I try to balance that "go with the flow" part of me, with the genetics ;)

I blogged about this - but I had a friend deceptively take my phone to text a guy she was involved with and subsequently, having issues with. She knew the guy trusted me as a friend and she pretended to be me, to find out information about her. I caught onto it in about 5 minutes (he told me, we were all there) and I immediately confronted her. I believe in being honest with your feelings, but also trying to speak from a place that makes sense. Sometimes when I'm heated, I will just blurt out what I'm thinking and reacting from a place of shock and anger, really gets us nowhere. I took a few minutes to try to calm down, listen to her side, and then I told her how disappointed I was and that I lost trust in her.

I'm not an "enemy" kind of lady. I just don't have enemies and if there is a serious riff between me and someone, I will commit to working it out (if it's worth it to me) but also not fronting by saying "I'm fine," when I'm really not. In short, that means trying to remedy the issue, being upfront and honest while also trying to see if we can work through it, or if we need space and time instead.
