What happened?

Have you ever really wanted to say that to someone, but kept it in?

Really, in the end, wouldn't just... talking to someone... make it easier?

But what do you say, y'know? Like, how do you talk to someone, when you don't even want to talk, yourself? And what're the real reasons you don't want to?
   Because you might get hurt.
   Because you might get embarrassed.
   Because it might actually work, and then what do you do?!

Has anyone ever asked you to talk to them? Then you're like, "I want to! There's so much I want to say to you, but I don't know how, or when, or where to say it. Or how you'll take it!"

And then, what happens if you're actually forced to talk? Holy cow. That's one scary situation. But it's kind of cool at the same time, because then you know your presence and opinions are actually valued enough to be heard and considered.

I think it's really easier... in all honesty... if you speak your partner's language. It's hard to learn that if you're not taught, and it requires quality time, patience, understanding, effort- and sex. When you really want to relate to someone, and be involved in their life, it takes courage to speak up. And if we like someone, we want to relate to them and involve them in our lives.

...So what are you afraid of? Speak up! Yeah, being hurt sucks, but think how you'd feel if you didn't say anything at all? Some realizations are better made from reaction, not inaction. Just sayin'...
