Communication is essential for ANY type of relationship to work. There will be times when one person will have to take the lead with initiating dialogue but in time all parties should be engaging in effective communication . It is always important to be clear and direct when communicating. Indirect and passive communication only leads to confusion and more questions than answers.
Effective communication is active, clear, direct and understood by all parties. It is vital and an important component to any successful relationship.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

Communications is a jock major, which is to say that it is a very easy major for college students who want to drink and party and sleep around more than they want to learn and better themselves. Communications majors typically end up doing generic office jobs at best.
"Yeah, the 'rents are forking out the $32,000 a year, not me, so I don't see why I shouldn't just get buzzed and major in communications!"

Person A emits verbal tones in the form of sentences while Person B utilizes sense of hearing to transmit exact words to brain which in turn, re-creates the sentence to fit their own agenda and re-emits into a new and improved, yet rarely accurate, statement.
"What are the chances of us getting together, say 1 in 100?" He smiles
"More like 1 in 1,000,000." She grimaces
"So, you're saying there's a chance" He Grins

Example of shitty communication:
Person A: Hello person B, how are you today?
Person B: Yes
Person A: This isn't a yes or no I'm asking how your day went
Person B: Yes
Person A: That doesn't make sense how the fuck does "Yes" describe your day?
Person B: Yes
Person A: God fucking dammit stop saying yes!!!
Person B: Yes
Person A: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Person A: Hello person B, how are you today?
Person B: Yes
Person A: This isn't a yes or no I'm asking how your day went
