We spend so much time in life trying to shape our actions and words. We approach a topic scared at what the other person may think or if we will say too much. If you enter a conversation with honesty, have the intension to understand, be clear, and if the desired outcome is worth it, just say it. Let it out. Don't be afraid to express yourself. If you misspeak, that is ok. Correct it immediately. If the person you are speaking with really cares about you, they will focus on the message rather than the delivery. Don't invest in those who can't see your worth. Don't invest in those who do not invest in themselves. What could they possibly have to talk about?? Not much...probably about what someone else is or isn't doing. Humans have emotions and feelings that connect us at the core. We can feel each other without using words at all. That is beautiful. Cherish close and healthy relationships. Trust ya gut. I often hear friends say, "I won't say I love you for a year". I look at them (with my head to the side). So if you feel it, you won't say it simply because a time limit hasn't passed? Why take yourself through all that. If the person you care about can't understand you care about them, move the hell on.
Over the last couple of months, I have become closer and closer to a special someone. I must say it has been great. Yeah people have their ups and downs but I have, and am enjoying the person I have come to know. If you find yourself looking forward to seeing someone, wanting to simply be in their presence, deeply care about their success and the realization of their goals and dreams, then for God's sake put in the work to make it work. Relationships that are easy NEVER go anywhere. It is the relationships that test us, make us uncomfortable, and teach us something that are usually unbreakable.
Anyhoo....take a risk...try something new....and remember to always consider the power of your words.
