Nowadays, who can you really trust? It appears that everyone has something nice to say to your face, then the complete opposite once you turn around. Are we becoming that judgmental? Must we have rude comments to direct at everyone else? In a modern day society, has "getting along" truly become too much to ask for? It seems even in relationships, individuals hold in the truth from their partner, or the individual they wish was their partner. Maybe emotional feelings have become better left unsaid, but is that the right thing to do? That's the key thing we will be discussing : Keeping your feelings from the one you love.
Sometimes, we lockup our feelings in emotional solitary confinement, to spare ourselves the hurt linked to embarrassment and rejection. "How will this person respond to my feelings, and what will the others around me think - Should I or shouldn't I...?" These questions appear to pop into our heads rather frequently, leaving one indecisive and fearful of the answers. We're terrified of the judgment that can arouse, winding up alone and the horror of horrors, possibly losing that individual forever. We crave their touch and their love for a lifetime, but our fears render us incapable of going for it. Plus, we get to thinking maybe behind closed doors that they're hiding something, too. Maybe, the touch that they crave is of someone else's fingers, but could it have been ours all along? Who's to say it wasn't, who's to say it was?
Here's the verdict : There's nobody to say anything, except for yourself. You've got to stand up straight and tall, and face-to-face let it all out to them. Whether it's embraced or rejected, it's impossible for them to doubt your love. Even if they are into someone else or are in a relationship, there's unmistakable comfort in knowing that the possibility was explored, the same comfort that will help you with moving onward. Hearts are often broken by words left unspoken, you could never really know of the turnout until it is out in the open, no longer contained by fear.
For a moment, let's pretend everything goes wrong. All of your heartfelt words are brushed off with a chuckle and the assumption that you are kidding. (S)He may even speak to all their friends about this, as if it were nothing other than a sad joke. If that were to happen, you actually weren't seeking a relationship with the perfect mate, you were seeking a relation(crap) with someone ways from perfect. Shortly there after, (s)he could start dating a random player/whore, with the incentive solely being making you jealous. If these things did happen, you could locate your closure in a New York minute. Those individuals are the one's who will not get very far in life and the reason for karma. However, provided things can go bad, they can also go good. Even though they may not feel for you the same, they don't necessarily have to be a douchebag about it. Like Lucas was to myself, they can be respectful and understanding towards you, and offer the proverbial maintaining a close friendship. Obviously, that's not what you wanted to hear back, but you'll accept and attempt to move onward. Although remaining friends may not work out well, things are capable of going in any direction, and too at any speed.
On the far opposite end of the spectrum, let's pretend everything goes wonderfully. Slowly, they smile back at you and tell you they're crazy about you. You'll get lost in conversation and before you know it, you're getting ready to go out on your first date and likely initiate a relationship, shortly there after ... A date becomes a relationship, a relationship becomes true love, true love becomes getting married and making love becomes having a child. You'll grow old together to the point where your shenanigans together are carried out into a nursing home, where you drive workers crazy, have wheelchair races and secretively put soda in the I.V bags. Although it seems like a out of reach fairytale end, you never know, maybe a Cinderella story is exactly what fate has destined for you - Some love tales are epic novels while some are simply short stories, but that doesn't imply they're any less filled with love.
The only possible way that something so magical can happen, is if you tell them how you're feeling in the first place. Whether it is for better or for worse, is something to be answered after the fact. Maybe behind those closed doors, they're yearning for your affection and your love, your future and your time. Even though they may not and the feelings may not be mutual, the pain of not trying surpasses that of being rejected in severity. If the result is against what you wished, it'll be a bad day, and not a bad life ... Note the difference. You must contend with what's inside your heart, you will regret anything otherwise. Love can't speak for itself, it's completely in your hands to release it. I wish you great luck in all aspects of life and love.
