telling people you care, loose the fear of rejection

How do you tell someone you care for them, how do you tell them their your world? With countless words in our dictionary, we still find it to be such an immense challenge to explain our feelings to others. But then there’s the idea that actions speak louder than words… though that only works if you can actually see the person. If you never see them, it’s hard to perform any extraordinary acts to illustrate your deep feelings for them.

So we’re stuck, we are at a loss for using the words in our English language and we are unable to illustrate our emotions through actions. So what is our best option then, what is the best way to show or describe how much we care for this person… how much they mean to us; friends and lovers alike. I’ve found there is only one option when it comes to sharing our feelings, only one possible route. Take a deep breath and spill our emotions out as is they were being worn on our shoulders. There is no “I don’t know,” we cannot allow ourselves to hide from the people we care for by saying we don’t understand our feelings or don’t know what they mean.

I understand better than most that when we drop our feelings onto others we run the risk of rejection… we run the risk of encountering the curse of pain. But I’d rather feel pain than nothing at all, rather experience loss and rejection than never knowing rejection and acceptance alike.

To anyone worried about making a move towards the unknown, to my future circumstances, to people in general... don’t be worried about rejection and the judgments of others, they do not determine your self-worth. Take a step towards the scary moments in your life; make a move towards your dreams that scare you. I promise you will be hurt… things don’t work out perfectly every time. But more importantly I promise you… you will live. More importantly you will live with no regrets, no unknowns, and more happiness. We’re all scared, but we don’t all have the will power to do something about it.
