Don’t Play the Waiting Game

I always believed the saying “time waits for no one”, but never lived by it until my Aunt passed away. I felt that I had so much more to say to her before she went and it breaks my heart that I didn’t get to say everything. Telling a person how you feel is very important. Withholding what you want to say from them may not always be the best idea because you could be missing out on what you didn’t know by not speaking up. It can be a serious situation where you know you and this person had issues but never forgave each other even though it may have been over something small. What was once a good relationship could go bad because of stubbornness. I say this because I know I’m stubborn and being that way hasn’t gotten me anywhere in past relationships. I would brush off how I felt under the rug and shut down because I didn’t think I was being heard so I stopped saying what I was feeling.

Another reason is if you’re into someone. By not telling them how you feel, you’ll never know if they are into you also. You could let someone you care about slip away by not being honest. It’s okay to not want to say how your feeling if you already know how they feel or if you’re just simply not ready. But by playing a waiting game it only gets harder. If you feel that you are leading someone on, don’t. You will give them the wrong impression if you’re not straight up with them. Saying what you really mean is way better than waiting and dragging them along. I know from experience it is hard saying exactly what’s on your mind or even putting into words how you feel when you’re nervous. You don’t know how you may come across and don’t want to come off too strong. Just don’t wait until it’s to late.
