Which of course has it's advantages and disadvantages. There is a lot to be said for speaking your mind, to just being honest and up front. That is a trait I particularly like in people, someone who is willing to just tell it like it is. Life is too short to be doing little dances of deception around folk, trying to hide what it is you really feel or think because you fear they will not like what you have to say.
And the longer we leave things unspoken, the harder it is to then to speak our truth. Some of the time those concerns and worries, when left unsaid can turn into mountains of guilt that gnaw away at us. Burdens that we carry, that we tell ourselves that we should never have had, never have done.
A lot of the time those worries are unrequited, yet we get lost in that trail of thought that just pulls us down. This is why it is so important to just speak up, to be honest about how we feel or what we think. To just accept that we can think so many things, so many different things at any given moment and that as we grow and evolve then so do those thoughts.
As long as we allow ourselves to connect with our thoughts and feelings. To not try and hide behind any insecurities we may have.
Yeah I was in that place, I guess we all go through it, but some seem to stay there, lost in their shadow never getting to embrace who they really are. Too caught up in what happens in their head and in the heads of others, to see the person that they are.
We can be so hard on ourselves at times, so bloody judgemental. Beating ourselves up over this and that and of course their is a time and a place for that when the circumstances call for it. But these little insecurities can turn into huge monster insecurities if we leave them unchecked.
