Tell people how you feel. Take a chance. Life is too short to live with what-ifs or regrets.
Last year, I sent an email, to tell someone how I felt. Sadly, I didn’t hear back, but no response IS a response.
Do I regret it? Not at all! I know that I said what I needed, and gave a new opportunity for a second chance, a shot.
Was it scary? HELL YA! Probably one of the harder things I've had to do. Being vulnerable sucks but I knew not saying anything, was definitely worse.
Recently, I was reminded that life is short, and no one is guaranteed tomorrow.
SAY THE DIFFICULT THINGS. DONT HIDE BEHIND WHAT-IFS. DON'T SECOND GUESS YOURSELF. JUST PUT IT OUT THERE.
What's the worst thing that can happen? They don't respond/reject you?
I'M STILL STANDING!
But...what if they don't? What if they've been too scared to tell you? What if they are just insecure and aren't sure what they have to offer? What if, deep down, they want to get to know you better? What if they like you, too?
At least you won't be over thinking it, wondering what if...? That shit will drive you crazy!
BE BOLD. BE BRAVE. BE MESSY. BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU.
As Ms Frizzle taught us, "Take chances! Get messy! Make mistakes!"
Life is messy sometimes. Dont be afraid to stand in your truth. Say the scary things, because you never know, when someone might decide to be brave, too.
